[QUOTE="MissWashuu, post: 626481, member: 7715"] Umbran, While this seems blatent to us, I bet a player drunk with the idea of power might gloss over it if presented properly. I say this only because I pulled off somthing similar once. This is also why I suggested that the PC not know all the spells at once. Perhaps if the PC wants to gain more from the spell book he will turn to the beast that brought it to him. The demon can suggest a ritual or a different type of spell. Nothing gruesome or dasterdly nor truely evil. however, wound within the spell is a binding. The slave could slowly, over time, become the master. The key is to keep the demon gracious, always appearing to have nothing but the PC's will in mind. The PC did "free" him after all. If presented properly the PC (and companions) could end up glossing over a growing evil in their own midsts. As an aside, when I pulled this off it took several months of real time and game time and the murder of a cleric of selune before the party even realized it was one of their own they were hunting. As a matter of fact, the PC who was doing the evil acts had no clue until the plot twist was revealed. [/QUOTE]
