The Darkhold is a sentient magical book that exists in the marvel universe. (Like the Necronomicon). It’s will is formidable, and it is an entity all its own. Generally speaking, the Darkhold likes to work through the will of others. It takes the will of mystical powerhouses to even keep the darkhold without falling under its spell.

Most of the powers represent different spells the darkhold is capable of casting. Mind Control, Force Blast, Phasing (entering the astral plane), and Smoke Cloud (Mystical Darkness) are all spells. Telekinesis (spell of levitation), Incapacitate (Mystical Binding), and Energy Explosion (Fireballs), Defend (Wards of Protection) are also spells found within the pages of the book.

Mastermind, Support, and Enhancement show that the Darkhold tends to work through someone it has corrupted.

Willpower, and Regeneration, show that the Darkhold is it’s own will, determined to survive on it’s own.

Blades/Claws/Fangs is the cover of the book actually growing teeth and snapping (like the scene in Army of Darkness).

Outwit, Probability Control, and Perplex represent the book’s mystical unpredictable nature.


As you can see, the Darkhold does not fight by itself. It is kinda supposed to be the Ultimate support piece.


To balance the mega power of the Darkhold, It' does 0 damage (cept for teeth), and never has a move above 4. It is after all a book.

Actually, the Darkhold is a book of parchments enscribed by the Elder Demon, Chthon. It has vast magical powers and can corrupt any magic user who uses it, possibly turning them into a slave of Chthon himself. Doctor Strange is the only known mortal to use the book and not be corrupted.

The Darkhold, alas, is not itself sentient, just so you can be accurate with your description.

Still, this is an unusual dial and a great idea...I like it.
