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

Effects

• On use, spawns a wisp that orbits Isaac and fires small spectral tears alongside him. The wisps are damaged and eventually destroyed if they make contact with an enemy, an enemy shot or an explosion.
  • When a wisp is destroyed, the sound of fire being extinguished plays.
    • A normal wisp is white and blue, has 2 health and spectral tears which deal 1.6-2.4 damage, and is summoned in the middle ring.
    • A wisp's health can be determined by its size, shrinking as its health decreases.
  • Multiple wisps can exist at once. Some combinations have an upper limit of 26 wisps: an inner counterclockwise ring of 6, a middle clockwise ring with 8, and an outer counterclockwise ring of 12.
• Passively, the Book will combine with other activated items, possibly granting special effects on the created wisps. The recharge time will be based on the other item.
• While held, guarantees the first Devil/Angel Room encountered to be an Angel Room, and increases the overall chance of getting one by 12.5%
  • Allows for Angel Rooms to appear even if a Devil Deal was taken before.
• Template:Transf

Notes

• Bethany starts with this item.
• It is the only passive item in the library pool.
  • If Isaac walks into a library for the first time with NO!, The Book of Virtues is very likely to spawn.
  • Because of this, when acquired from a library the book cannot be rerolled by use of the D4, D100, a Dice Room, or getting hit as Tainted Eden.
• Whenever Isaac is invulnerable the wisps are as well, but can still deal damage.
• If a wisp is damaged, it will be smaller in size.
• Summoning a wisp while at the maximum will replace the most damaged wisp.
• While having 100% chance of Angel Room discovery, Isaac will not get teleported to a Devil Room by using some items which allow it. Instead, he will be teleported to the Angel Room, keeping his 100% chance of discovering Angel Room. This can be used to get to Angel Room on the first floor, where naturally Devil/Angel Rooms do not spawn, and still keep the 100% chance for the next floor.
• This item's passive effects apply to even permanent active items found in the pill/card slot. ( e.g. Tainted Bethany's Lemegeton, Tainted Jacob's Anima Sola, etc)
• While the item can function as both passive and active item, it is treated as a passive item by NO! and Void.
• This item is displayed in the Extra HUD as a passive item.
  • This also extends to it being treated as such, which means that it will take up one of Tainted Isaac's limited item slots.

Synergies

• Baby-Bender: Wisps gain psychic tears.
• BFFS!: Increases the tear size and doubles the damage of Wisps.
• Butter!/'M: Can be used to remove the Book of Virtues as long as Isaac isn't holding a different active item.
• Car Battery: Doubles the spawned wisps on activation.
• Forgotten Lullaby: Improves Wisps' rate of fire.
• Tear Detonator: The wisps' tears are also detonated; the resulting tears are based on Isaac's own, rather than the wisps'.
• Lodestone: The wisps' tears are attracted to the magnetic enemy, making it much easier to connect all of the wisps' tears on an enemy.

Interactions

• Analog Stick: Wisps are unable to shoot diagonally, and will shoot up or downwards instead.
• NO!: Will not prevent Book of Virtues from spawning, as it's considered a passive item.
• XVII - The Stars?: Book of Virtues will be removed if it's the oldest collected item, even if another active item is not being held.
• Void: The Book of Virtues is considered to be a purely passive item, so only stat boosts will be gained by using Void on it. Further uses of the Void will not have the Book's effects.

Bugs

Bug!

With Spin to Win, leaving a room just before the item's charge runs out causes all wisps generated by Spin to Win to remain with Isaac, and will retain their very high fire rate. The wisps will orbit at their normal speed rather than the increased speed. Upon entering an uncompleted boss room, all wisps from this effect are extinguished immediately. This can be mitigated by performing this on the boss door instead.

Bug!	Using Sharp Key spawns a wisp even if Isaac has no keys to throw.

Bug!	Picking up BFFS! after spawning wisps will cause the wisps to visually grow until they can't be seen anymore.

Bug!	Using Box of Friends twice in the same room will cause the game to crash.

Bug!	When the Fortune Cookie wisp are destroyed, luck bonuses will not be removed until there is a change to Luck stat.

Bug!	As Tainted Isaac, dropping and picking up the uncombined Book of Virtues will refresh the item's charge, allowing for max wisps.
