Version 0.31: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

Book of Battle

An astonishingly vain and self-aggrandising work. The author claims credit for a wide swathe of weapon-augmenting magics, but seems to have misunderstood or misrepresented most of them. Only a few of the spells described in the book actually work.

The Book of Battle is a spellbook containing spells helpful for melee combat.

Spells

Spell	Type	Level
a - Fugue of the Fallen	Necromancy	3
b - Ozocubu's Armour	Ice	3
c - Detonation Catalyst	Alchemy/Fire	5
d - Manifold Assault	Translocation	7
