Scrolls are items made of parchment. Reading a scroll will have various effects, as described below. Reading a scroll will raise your [[intelligence]] slightly. More powerful scrolls are less common to find, and raise your intelligence more when you read them successfully. You cannot read scrolls while you are [[confused]], and certain creature types cannot read scrolls either. Since scrolls are made of parchment, they can easily be destroyed by fire (except the Encrypted scroll)

Scrolls are items made of parchment which contain a magical writing. You can release the spell contained in the scroll by reading it, but the scroll will vanish after use.

Reading scrolls trains your intelligence and intelligence is also required to read the scroll quickly - the more powerful the scroll is, the less it is common to find, takes longer to read successfully but raise your intelligence more. You cannot read scrolls while confused and certain monsters cannot read scrolls at all.

Scrolls cannot be harmed by physical damage (e.g. kicking them), but being made of parchment, they are highly flammable. Kamikaze Dwarves with their explosions are especially dangerous to unprotected scrolls - put your scrolls into any chest before engaging them.

Repair Repairs all damage done to a single item or artificial limb. Paired items (e.g. two identical boots) will be repaired both, just as with enchanting.
Taming Allows you to tame a single adjacent creature, but the taming is not guaranteed to be successful.
Teleportation

Teleports you to a random square on the current level, unless you have TeleControl.

Note that the Wand of Teleportation is superior to the scroll in that it takes only one turn to zap while the scroll can take some time to read. On the other hand, you need no limbs to read a scroll, unlike zapping a wand.

Wishing Grants you a single wish.


Special Scrolls

Encrypted Scroll

  • You are given this scroll at the beginning of the game to deliver it to Petrus. It cannot be read or destroyed.


Strategy

Work in progress!

Scroll of Change Material

Allows you to change the material of an item or limb. You must have a certain amount of Intelligence in order to change into certain materials.

Scroll of Charging

A scroll of charging will recharge a Wand, giving it the maximum number of charges it previously had. This item cannot be cloned, to avoid abuse.

Scroll of Detect Material

Detects items made of the requested material which are present in the current map. After you finish reading the scroll, items of this material are highlighted, and you make look around the map. This can be useful when fighting the Enner Beast or Mystic Dark Frog, but can be used to find a hidden loot as well.

Scroll of Enchant Armor

Enchants the equipment of your choice. If you have two identical items (e.g. two boots of agility), it will enchant both, but they have to be in exactly the same state (e.g. both broken and covered in water). Enchantment is guaranteed to succeed up to +5, beyond that it becomes less likely the higher it should be enchanted. Unsuccesful enchanting will waste the scroll but the item remains intact.

Scroll of Enchant Weapon

Enchants the weapon of your choice. All rules listed above apply for enchanting weapons, too.

Scroll of Golem Creation

Allows you to create a friendly Golem out of any item. The golem's flesh will be made of the material that you convert.

Scroll of Harden Material

Allows you to harden the material of an item or limb. You must have a certain amount of intelligence in order to harden into certain materials. See scroll of change material above.
