Within the fictional world of the game series, the magic item known as the book of vile darkness[2] is a supernatural book that serves as a reference guide to evil and granting experience points and a bonus to the wisdom attribute of evil spellcasters, while harming or corrupting those of other alignments. Although listed as a magical item in 2nd edition, the history of this tome and its copies is first detailed in the supplemental source book that shares its name. The book of vile darkness was included in the Dungeon Master's Guide for the 3.5 revision, where it was considered a minor artifact.[3] The book is being re-released to fit D&D 4th Edition rules near the same date.[4]
