SCP-1065
"Mature Content" | |
This character or verse has mature themes and concepts, thus those of young age are ill-advised to look through these. |
Background
SCP-1065 is a four-volume series of books written in an Eastern Slavic language, apparently of the early-to-mid 1800s. It has the anomalous effect of once someone touches it, they will agree with everything said in the books without having to read it, with prolonged exposure turning them violent and attacking all of the things the books are against.
If left unused for over a month, the books will begin to catch on fire, which has caused a number of libraries to burn down due to this.

Powers and Techniques
Mind Manipulation (Through making contact with one or more of the books, the subject begins to subscribe to the ideals contained within the books, even if they do not actually read any of the text. This begins as a general "understanding" and "mild agreement", though prolonged exposure produces increased dedication to the principles put forth in the books, eventually reaching such extremes as the instigation of violent uprising against established governmental and education systems, public vandalizing and destruction of written texts, and the destruction of public storehouses of written texts such as libraries or book stores), Fire Manipulation (A secondary effect occurs when the books are left unused for a period of time exceeding one month, after which they will self-immolate, the books suffer no damage from their own produced flames but have been shown to be vulnerable to fires produced by other means and extends to individuals under the books effects)
Equipment
Nothing notable.
Other
Standard Tactics: The book itself is immobile and is likely non-sentient, only causing an effect through touch. However, if it is left unused for a period of time exceeding one month, it will self-immolate.
Weaknesses: The effects wear off once physical contact with the book is broken, taking approximately twenty-six hours for every minute of continuous physical contact. The book cannot self-immolate in areas where humidity is at least 95% and ambient temperatures below 23.9°C, nor where oxygen levels are too low for flames to effectively burn.
Containment Records
None.
None.
