The '''blank scroll''' 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 ''Antinomy!''.
The '''blank scroll''' has no effect when read. Once identified, a cursed copy is named ''Antinomy!'', but its BUC state does not change the result.


== Generation and appearance ==
== Effects and interactions ==
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.
 
== Data and mechanics ==
The definition has base value 5, item level 0, 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.

Reading produces no message and changes neither the character nor the current level, but still consumes one copy. Blessing and cursing do not change this outcome.
== Effects and interactions ==
All BUC states call the no-effect routine. The scroll prints no effect message and changes no player or level state; the normal read command still consumes one copy.
 
Because its use routine does nothing, blessing and cursing do not change the outcome. It remains subject to the ordinary blindness, fear, cancellation, and consumption rules for reading scrolls.

A search of public Omega and roguelike sources found no reliable creator statement establishing a specific cultural origin for this scroll's name. The article therefore treats the source-code name as canonical without assigning an unsupported reference.
