| A spellbook that has gone too long without being read. It overflows with magic, forming thick armour from its binding, legs from its pages, and periodically erupting in flurries of free-floating, self-casting spells.
Its cover bears the icon of a long-forgotten god, still fully possessed of wrath. |

Tips & Tricks
- Divine tomes may not be as strong as crystal tomes or frostbound tomes, but Smite ignores AC and EV entirely.
- Living spells work similarly to the player Foxfire spell. It creates a living spell entity, which must have a direct path to a hostile target. If you are in melee range with a tome in a corridor, most of the living spells will be unable to hit you. But unlike the foxfire spell, living spells can spawn behind the player (radius-2 of the walking tome), so a corridor is not foolproof.
- You can attack a living spell, which will destroy it before it gets the chance to cast itself. Most types of AOE attacks can destroy a few spells while damaging the tome in the process.
- Silence works on walking tomes, preventing them from creating living spells.
