Book of Shadows is an activated item.
Effect
- Upon use, creates a protective shield, nullifying all types of damage in the current room for 10 seconds.
- This item belongs to the Bookworm set. Collecting three items from this set will transform Isaac into Bookworm.
Notes
- The Book of Shadows effect negates health loss from Blood Donation Machines, Devil Beggars, Hell Game, and Confessional.
Synergies
- 4.5 Volt: With sufficient damage, the Book of Shadows can be kept active indefinitely.
- Book of Virtues: Spawns shielded wisps in the middle ring. The wisps have 1 health, but will not be damaged by blocking projectiles, and can only be destroyed on contact with enemies. When Book of Shadows is active, wisps are immune to all damage, allowing for easy melee kills.
- Car Battery: Doubles the duration of invulnerability.
- Cube of Meat and most other orbitals: Highly effective with Book of Shadows, as Isaac can run into enemies with an active shield to deal massive amounts of damage.
- Razor Blade: Can be used at no cost while the Book of Shadows shield is present, allowing damage to be significantly increased for the room.
Interactions
- Blood Oath: If the book is used just before the knife stabs Isaac, he will not lose any health, nor gain any stat upgrades associated with the item.
- Blood Rights/IV Bag/Razor Blade: Does not prevent damage from these items.
In-game Footage
Trivia
- The Book of Shadows is an infamous book of religious texts and instructions for magical rituals found within the Neopagan religion of Wicca.
