A successful Knowledge (mathematics) check (DC 15) reveals that each page contains one equation that always results in a final sum of twenty. Reading the book has no effect, yet tearing a page out and eating it triggers the book’s magical effect. The character may breathe a 20 ft. cone of flame inflicting twenty points of damage, Reflex save (DC 14) ½. The character can hold the breath weapon in abeyance for one minute, however failing to expel the flames after one minute automatically inflicts twenty points of damage to the user with no saving throw. Eating another page from the book within ten minutes of the last page negates the page’s effects and nauseates the character for ten minutes.
