-A Slightly evil book, Evil doers rejoice when they find this book, it being the source of so many foul writings, but when they read the book they find most of its critical information is useless, It only providing few strong effects but no way to further their foul legacies. A fake of its true icon most would cast it aside in anger for the minions or henchman to use.+^ Properties ^ Stats ^

 +**Mark of Dim Light**
 +  *After you spend the requisite amount of time reading and studying the book, you acquire a physical disfigurement as a hideous sign of your devotion to vile darkness. An evil rune might appear on your face, your eyes might become glossy black, or horns might sprout from your forehead. Or you might become wizened and hideous, lose all facial features, gain a forked tongue, or some other feature the DM chooses. The mark of darkness grants you advantage on Charisma (Persuasion) checks made to interact with evil creatures and Charisma (Intimidation) checks made to interact with non-evil creatures.
 +
 +**Dim Lore**
 +  *You can reference the Book of Mild Darkness whenever you make an Intelligence check to recall information about some aspect of evil, such as lore about demons. When you do so, double your proficiency bonus on that check.
 +
 +**Rude Speech**
 +  *While you carry the Book of Mild Darkness, you can use an action to recite words from its pages in a foul language known as profanity. Each time you do so, you take 1d12 psychic damage, and each non-evil creature within 15 feet of you takes 3d6 psychic damage.
