| This scroll calls on the powers of Heaven to cause great damage to any nearby unholy creature - including you! |
Reading a scroll of holy word will slow, frighten, and deal 3d15 + 1d10 - 1 damage to all undead and demonic targets in your line of sight. If you are a worshiper of the good gods the damage is increased by your piety: 3d15 + 1d(10+piety/10) - 1 for the Shining One; 3d15 + 1d(10+piety/20) - 1 for Zin and Elyvilon. If you read this scroll and you are Undead or Demonspawn your hit points will be halved.
It is a rare scroll, but this effect can also be produced through Zin's Sanctuary ability or when the Shining One blesses a weapon.
Strategy
Worshipers of evil gods that provide allies will want to be careful when reading unknown scrolls, Yredelemnul in particular. Suddenly turning your army of bone dragons, ghouls, and profane servitors against you is not a fun time.
