Libram of Gainful Conjuration
This mystic book contains much arcane knowledge for wizards of neutral, chaotic neutral, and lawful neutral alignments. If a character of this class and alignment spends a full week cloistered and undisturbed, pondering its contents, he gains experience points sufficient to place him exactly at the midpoint of the next higher level. When this occurs, the libram disappears - totally gone - and that character can never benefit again from reading such a work.
Any non-neutral wizard reading so much as a line of the libram suffers 5d4 points of damage falls unconscious for a like number of turns, and must seek a priest in order to atone and regain the ability to progress in experience (until doing so, no further experience is gained).
Any nonwizard perusing the work must roll a saving throw vs. spell in order to avoid insanity. Characters who go insane can be healed only by a remove curse and rest for one month or by having a priest heal them.
