[DL] Necronomicon? [Ghoul? You still out there?] [Goff? If you're not too busy]

["Leybourne, Brian" <Brian.Leybourne@airnz.co.nz>]

Gidday all, 

It's audience participation time again :-)

One of my players has just found a nasty necronomicon-style book. (It may
*be* the Necronomicon, I have not decided yet)

I want to use it to corrupt him (heh heh) but oh so slowly, so that he
actually does it himself.

To this end, I want to let him use the book to battle evil (Using evil to
fight evil isn't bad. The enemy of my enemy is my ally, right? *grin*) by
using its nasty powers slowly, getting more and more powerful so that
hopefully the player wont even realise it's happening until it's too late.

So I thought that maybe initially he can draw on the book merely to do
something minor, maybe it can minorly curse an opponent to miss in combat or
something like that. Something evil but not so much that he'll really notice
it is (because he's using it against evil opponents, and it's no more than
hexes or favours can do) and move up, the effects getting better and better
(eventually, he'll be convinced that raising zombies to battle evil is a
good thing) and so on.

Any ideas from y'all as to the different effects the book can allow him to
use, and what he might have to do to use them? As I said, I'm looking for
minor/innocuous, leading up to major/blatant.
