The '''scroll of cosmic flux''' 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 cosmic flux''.
The '''scroll of cosmic flux''' can discard and regenerate the current dungeon level. Its identified name is unchanged by BUC state.


== 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 300, item level 5, 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.

Outside the city, reading discards the current dungeon level and generates a new layout at the same depth. In the city the flux is negated; in other protected areas it has no effect.

Outside the city, on a level belonging to the current dungeon, reading erases the current level, marks it ungenerated, and changes back to the same depth so it is regenerated. In the city the flux is negated; in another guarded environment it has no effect.
 
The implementation does not use blessing, so every BUC state reaches the same environmental checks. Only uncursed use automatically identifies the scroll. The routine also invokes a dispel before rebuilding the level.

The scroll of cosmic flux can discard and regenerate the current dungeon level. Its identified name is unchanged by BUC state.

Effects and interactions

BUC stateResult
BlessedOutside the city, dispels and regenerates the current dungeon level.
UncursedOutside the city and on the current dungeon's level, dispels and regenerates that depth.
CursedOutside the city, dispels and regenerates the current dungeon level.

Outside the city, reading discards the current dungeon level and generates a new layout at the same depth. In the city the flux is negated; in other protected areas it has no effect.

BUC state does not change the result. Only an uncursed copy identifies itself automatically. Existing magical effects on the level are dispelled before it is rebuilt.

Strategy

Cosmic flux is a level-reset tool, not a local attack. Use it only when abandoning the current layout and its remaining opportunities is acceptable. Its BUC state does not make the reset stronger or safer.
