| align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Effect'''
|-
| width="140"|Change MaterialBody Switch| width="600"|Prompts you for a direction and attempts to switch your body with the chosen [[Monsters|creature]]. Requires the same [[Int]] and [[Cha]] check to be successful as a scroll of taming (see below). Note that this body switching is permanent and thus can leave you in a weaker body if you choose poorly.|-| Change Material||Allows you to change the [[List of materials|material]] of any single item or limb. You must have a certain amount of [[Intelligenceintelligence]] for the transmutation to be successful. Paired items (e.g. two identical boots) will be transmuted both.
|-
| Charging||Recharges any [[Wand]] up to the maximum number of charges it previously had.
|-
| Detect Material||Detects and highlights all [[items]], [[Dungeon Features|structures]] and [[monsters]] made of the requested [[List of materials|material]] present on the current floor.
|-
| Earthquake||Causes an earthquake if read underground.
|-
| Enchant Armor||Enchants a piece of [[armor]] of your choice. Paired items (e.g. two identical boots) will be enchanted both. Enchanting 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.
|-
| Harden Material||Hardens the material of any item or limb you pick. You must have a certain amount of [[intelligence]] in order to harden the material successfully. Otherwise, the same rules as for scroll of change material apply.
|-
| [[Scroll of Fireballs|Immolation]]||Let's you pick a single creature you can see, then causes an explosion centered on said creature.
|-
| Repair||Repairs all damage done to a single [[Items|item]] or [[Cheats and Exploits#Artificial Limbs|artificial limb]]. Paired items (e.g. two identical boots) will be repaired both.
|-
| Taming||Allows you to [[Pets|tame]] a single adjacent creature, but the taming is not guaranteed to be successful- you need a sufficiently high [[Int]] and [[Cha]] for the creature to be tamed, with more powerful or unique creatures requiring higher [[attribute]]s.
|-
| Teleportation||[[Teleport]]s 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.
* Scrolls of wishing , charging and charging body switch cannot be wished for nor can they be cloned, to prevent abuse. Still, scrolls of wishing can be [[Wand of Mirroring|mirrored]]. Given the time it takes to read the scroll of wishing, though, it can actually be a problem to finish the reading of the mirrored scroll before it disappears.
* The material detection can be useful while fighting the [[Enner Beast]] or [[Dark Frog|mystic dark frogs]], cutting the time you have to endure their powers on minumumto minimum, as you will know their location. Simply detect e.g. enner beast flesh. It can be used as well to find any [[Secret Rooms|hidden loot]] or to magically map the level, if you ask to detect the wall material.
** Note that attempting to detect any material that is present in large quantities (e.g the floor or tunnel walls' material) will result in the player being hit with "an enormous burst of geographical information" resulting in confusion and the scrambling of your floor layout memory. The chance of this happening can be mitigated by having a higher intelligence.
