You have read the Book of Exalted Deeds and gained its benefits permanently (as long as you uphold your Good alignment through various means)...
The Book of Exalted Deeds rarely lingers in one place. As soon as the book is read, it vanishes to some other corner of the multiverse where its moral guidance can bring light to a darkened world. Although attempts have been made to copy the work, efforts to do so fail to capture its magical nature or translate the benefits it offers to those pure of heart and firm of purpose.
Benefits granted by the Book of Exalted Deeds last only as long as you strive to do good. If you fail to perform at least one (1) act of kindness or generosity within the span of 10 days, or if you willingly perform an evil act, you lose all the benefits granted by the book.
Celestial Calm. While attuned to the book, you have Immunity to the Charmed and Frightened conditions and Resistance to Psychic damage. These benefits become permanent after you spend the requisite amount of time reading and studying the book.
Random Properties. The Book of Exalted Deeds has the following random properties:
2 MINOR beneficial properties:
While attuned to the artifact, you can use an action to cast one 1st-level spell (Sanctuary, chosen by DM) from it. After you cast the spell, roll a d6. On a roll of 1-5, you can't cast it again until the next dawn.
While attuned to the artifact, you gain a +1 bonus to Armor Class.
2 MAJOR beneficial properties:
While attuned to the artifact, you can use an action to cast one 4th-level spell (Aura of Life, chosen by DM) from it. After you cast the spell, roll a d6. On a roll of 1-5, you can't cast it again until the next dawn.
While attuned to the artifact, you can use an action to cast one 5th-level spell (Hallow, chosen by DM) from it. After you cast the spell, roll a d6. On a roll of 1-5, you can't cast it again until the next dawn.
Increased Wisdom. After you spend the requisite amount of time reading and studying the book, your Wisdom score increases by 2, to a maximum of 24. You can't gain this benefit from the book more than once.
Enlightened Magic. Once you've read and studied the book, any spell slot you expend to cast a cleric or paladin spell counts as a spell slot of one level higher.
Halo. Once you've read and studied the book, you gain a protective halo. This halo sheds bright light in a 10-foot radius and dim light for an additional 10 feet. You can dismiss or manifest the halo as a bonus action. While present, the halo gives you advantage on Charisma (Persuasion) checks made to interact with good creatures and Charisma (Intimidation) checks made to interact with evil creatures. In addition, fiends and undead within the halo's bright light make attack rolls against you with disadvantage.
