  • Note that taking the book will trigger a trap. To avoid this, the player can place an item of similar weight (like a book) on the pedestal.
• To read it the player will need a Dark Amethyst found in the Whispering Depths, which can be accessed through the well of the Blighted Village, being guarded by a Phase Spider Matriarch. X: -550 Y: -350

Trivia

• Can also be given to Gale for his condition, to Astarion, or destroyed. Giving it to one of those Companions will net you approval with the one you've given it to, and disapproval with the other. Once one of said Companions obtain the book, it will be impossible to transfer it to a different party member. Destroying the Necromancy of Thay will net you disapproval with both.
  • To destroy it you will need Radiant Damage.
• After reading it, the item quote will change from 'It. Is. Not. Too. Late.' to 'Look. Away.'
