Book of Virtues#584

Book of Virtues is an unlockable activated/passive item item added in The Binding of Isaac: Repentance.

• Book of Virtues originates from the Antibirth mod, where it had a two-room charge but lacked the effect where it combines with other active items.
• Bethany used to be able to use specific types of heart pickups to create special wisps, similarly to how Tainted Eve can make special blood clot familiars using certain hearts.
• Wisps would not take explosive damage and the book’s wisp limit was always 16, with wisps orbiting a first ring of 8 and then a second ring of 8 when the first was full.
• Before Antibirth, it originated in the Community Remix mod for Flash Isaac, where it functioned like Metronome with a 6 room charge.
• This item is likely a reference to the 9 virtues of a person living in accord with the Holy Spirit, mentioned in Galatians 5.
• This is the only book item that can still appear if Isaac is holding NO!, due to being considered a passive item.
• If you have Birthright as Judas and another active item, both books will be under the active item; the Book of Belial on the bottom with the Book of Virtues above it. When the active item is used, you will get the effects of both books as well.

Bug! As Tainted Isaac, dropping and picking up the uncombined Book of Virtues will refresh the item's charge, allowing for max wisps. Bug! Each use of Glowing Hourglass that does not move Isaac to a different room from the one he is currently in (such as by teleporting to the previous room then using it again) will duplicate the wisps. Any extra wisps created from duplication on a filled ring will appear at the entrance of each room Isaac enters and shoot in the direction Isaac is currently shooting. Bug! Using a Dice Room or being hit as Tainted Eden to reroll an uncombined Book of Virtues will result in it rerolling into a different passive item while still remaining in the active item slot. It will disappear when Isaac picks up a different active item. Bug! Using the book at the same time as the pickaxe (notched axe) can create a glitched state of the axe where the player cannot shoot. This can be removed by leaving the room and entering it again. Active Item Modifiers Items
