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

Yredelemnul worshipers will want to be careful when reading unknown scrolls. Finding yourself facing five angry bone dragons is not a fun time.
