| Cursed name | scroll of wishing |
The scroll of wishing grants one of a fixed set of named wishes. Its identified name is unchanged by BUC state, making an unidentified cursed copy especially dangerous.
Effects and interactions
| BUC state | Result |
|---|---|
| Blessed | Accepts one exact wish word; blessing adds no choices or strength. |
| Uncursed | Accepts one exact wish word. |
| Cursed | Immediately invokes death. |
Uncursed use accepts exact case-sensitive wish words including Power, Skill, Wealth, Balance, Chaos, Law, Location, Knowledge, Health, Destruction, Acquisition, and Summoning. Each maps to a fixed resource, alignment, travel, spell, healing, attack, item, or summon effect. A cursed copy immediately invokes death.
After a surviving wish, the scroll becomes blank. The wish Death also kills the reader. Unknown text is rejected as a foolish wish, but the scroll is still spent.
Strategy
Identify and uncurse this scroll before reading it, because a cursed copy is fatal. Check capitalization before entering a wish, then choose the fixed result that best addresses the current run; arbitrary item names are not accepted.
