+====== Codex Content ======
+==== Description ====
+Codex books in Remixed Dungeon contain randomly selected content from a pool of possible texts. Each codex reveals a different piece of information when read.
+==== Types of Content ====
+Codex books may contain one of the following types of information:
+==== Glyph Descriptions ====
+  * **Bounce Glyph** - Causes enemies to be pushed back after hitting the Hero.
+  * **Affection Glyph** - Enchants the enemy for a few rounds, while the Hero is also charmed for some time, but never longer than the enemy.
+  * **Anti-entropy Glyph** - Hero ignites and burns, and enemy freezes.
+  * **Multiplication Glyph** - This effect causes the Hero to spawn mirror images but takes damage. This can kill the Hero.
+  * **Potential Glyph** - Releases a lightning burst that damages the enemy who attacked the player and damages the Hero for roughly half of the damage dealt to the enemy.
+  * **Metabolism Glyph** - Hero is partly healed before enemy damage is applied, but hunger will increase rapidly. Works only if not hungry,.
+  * **Stench Glyph** - Hero will emit a cloud of toxic gas when hit.
+  * **Viscosity Glyph** - Hero will get a delayed debuff, which will cause Hero to take 1 damage per turn, instead of receiving the full amount in one shot.
+  * **Displacement Glyph** - Whenever Hero is hit, there is a chance Hero will be teleported to a random nearby tile. This glyph doesn't work on boss levels.
+  * **Entanglement Glyph** - Hero can receive herbal armor, but also gets rooted at the same time.
