OmegaWiki scroll importer: Import Omega 0.90.4 scroll draft batch

The '''scroll of spells''' is a [[Scrolls|scroll]] in the Omega 0.90.4 remake. It appears as a bright-yellow {{Omega glyph|?|color=yellow|label=question mark}} until its shuffled inscription is identified. Its cursed appearance is ''scroll of spell loss''.

== Generation and appearance ==
Once item generation has selected the scroll class, it chooses uniformly among all 24 scroll IDs and copies the selected definition. The class definitions are neutral by default. Thirty unidentified inscriptions are shuffled at game initialization, so the visible label does not reliably identify this type between games. A necromancer is created with one as its fixed starting possession.

== Data and mechanics ==
The definition has base value 250, item level 1, weight 5, fragility 1, and the COMMON flag. The base value is the definition value, not a promised shop price. Reading is unavailable while blind or afraid; cancelling the inventory prompt spends no scroll, while successful dispatch normally consumes one.

<tr><td>Uncursed</td><td>Attempts to learn a random spell or halves the drain of one already known; the attempt can fail.</td></tr>
<tr><td>Cursed</td><td>Removes the highest-index spell currently known; if none is known, no spell is lost.</td></tr>
</table>

== Effects and interactions ==
Uncursed reading selects a random spell. An unknown spell is learned and grants experience equal to ten times its drain; an already-known spell instead halves that spell's drain, with a minimum of 1. The attempt can fail according to the spell drain versus the reader's Intelligence and level. A cursed scroll removes the highest-index spell currently known; if none is known, nothing is lost.

Uncursed use identifies the scroll type before resolving. Positive blessing does not further alter the spell routine. Cursed use reaches the loss branch and does not receive that automatic identification.

== Strategy ==
Use an uncursed copy when learning almost any random spell is acceptable or when known-spell drain reduction is valuable. Do not test an unknown copy while carrying a critical spell unless the possible cursed loss is acceptable.
