NEW MAGIC ITEM: THE CODEX OF TRUTH

This book will appear as any other normal or magical tome. Reading from it gives insight into the terrible truths behind all of life and the meaning of the universe. Any being of less power than a demigod will experience soul-shocking revelations. Such is the power of this experience that no mortal mind can hold the terrible truth. A person reading a phrase from the book will begin to weep inconsolably, then swiftly lose memories of the books contents, their mind unable to contain the hideous knowledge. They will be left with a deep feeling of sadness and must roll on the following table:

1d6	Result
1	Permanent loss of a point of intelligence
2	Permanent loss of a point of charisma
3	Make a system shock roll or lose a level, as if touched by level-draining undead
4-6	Permanent gain of a point of wisdom
