The '''scroll of true sight''' 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 blindness''.
The '''scroll of true sight''' temporarily reveals invisible and illusory monsters. A cursed copy is identified as a ''scroll of blindness'', and phantasticons carry one when encountered.


== 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. A phantasticon is created with one as its fixed starting possession.
 
== Data and mechanics ==
The definition has base value 50, item level 2, 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.

An uncursed scroll grants 1 through 10 duration units of true sight. While active, true sight reveals invisible monsters, corrects monster illusions, and prevents invisible surprise. A cursed scroll instead inflicts blindness for 1 through 10 duration units.


== Effects and interactions ==
The scroll identifies itself in every BUC state. Blessing does not extend true sight. Both true sight and blindness wear off over time.

Use it before fighting invisible or illusory monsters, but do not spend a blessing merely to extend duration because the code ignores positive blessing. Testing an unknown copy risks blindness for the same 1d10 duration range.

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.

The scroll of true sight temporarily reveals invisible and illusory monsters. A cursed copy is identified as a scroll of blindness, and phantasticons carry one when encountered.

Effects and interactions

BUC stateResult
BlessedGrants true sight for 1 through 10 duration units.
UncursedGrants true sight for 1 through 10 duration units.
CursedInflicts blindness for 1 through 10 duration units.

An uncursed scroll grants 1 through 10 duration units of true sight. While active, true sight reveals invisible monsters, corrects monster illusions, and prevents invisible surprise. A cursed scroll instead inflicts blindness for 1 through 10 duration units.

The scroll identifies itself in every BUC state. Blessing does not extend true sight. Both true sight and blindness wear off over time.

Strategy

Use it before fighting invisible or illusory monsters, but do not spend a blessing merely to extend its duration. Testing an unknown copy risks blindness for the same 1d10 duration range.
