She desires several items to increase her personal power, one of which is the infamous Book of Vile Darkness.Upon acquiring the Book of Vile Darkness it grants her power; however, it also has several drawbacks. Most significantly, she can never perform a good act again or the Book will leave her. What constitutes a "good" act? Can she use her divine magic to heal a soldier fighting for her cause, or is the act of healing anyone for any reason "good"? It seems a fair assumption that the Book would rule the same way an absolute bastard of a DM would. Could it be that doing anything that would ultimately benefit her followers in the long run would count as a "good" act? Must she ensure that every single one of her followers will suffer in the end, lest she commit a "good" act? Should she devise a way to ensure that all those who follow her will have their souls consumed by her serpent god upon death in the most agonizing way imaginable, possibly by modifying the cult's rituals to mark her followers' souls as sacrifices to Zehir, as to avoid committing a "good" act?Opinions?</blockquote>
