Fiendomicon of Iggwlfv
This brass-bound book contains a treatise on the powerful evil creatures of the lower planes. The DM may include descriptive material and personal names as appropriate. (Note that a creature's personal name is always kept secret, as these can be used for magical purposes. Such creatures also have a common name, which is the only one they will reveal to others.) In addition, each of the six copies known to exist contains the following spells:
Wizard Spells
- Banishment VII
- Binding VII
- Dismissal V
- Dolor
- Ensnarement VI
- Torment
Priest Spells
The book also includes the words of the Prison of Zagig.
Each copy of the work has two guardians. One is in the immediate vicinity of the book's hiding place, and will immediately attack the finder of the fiendomicon. If the possessor survives this attack, a second guardian, such as a Ghost, nycadaemon, tanar'ri or another, will pursue and attack the possessor of the book within Id6 weeks. Pursuit continues until either the possessor or the guardian is dead. If the possessor of the fiendomicon is killed, the guardian will find a new hiding place for the book.(DM's Note: The spells contained in the Fiendomicon of Iggwilv are extremely potent, and will greatly enhance the power of the wizard who has them, especially since three of these spells would be available only to those who have a copy of the book. The DM must consider carefully the effects of these spells on campaign balance before introducing them to the campaign).
Although some of these spells require the caster to read a prepared incantation or text aloud during the specified casting time, a character who wishes to use such a spell must still include it in his or her normal spell selection. Although the extreme length and complexity of these incantations require a supporting text, it also requires the formal casting procedures to enable the caster to successfully complete the reading. The cost of failure is fearfully high.
