The '''scroll of charging''' 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 draining''.
The '''scroll of charging''' restores charges to a chosen stick. A cursed copy is identified as a ''scroll of draining'' and empties the stick instead.


== 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 100, 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 copy prompts for a stick and adds 1d10 charges; a blessed copy adds 2d10, capped at 99. A cursed copy sets the selected stick's charge to 0. Choosing anything other than a stick is rejected.

Reserve a blessed copy for a valuable depleted stick because it doubles the charge roll. Identify an unknown copy before exposing a high-charge stick: cursed draining discards all of its remaining charges.

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 charging restores charges to a chosen stick. A cursed copy is identified as a scroll of draining and empties the stick instead.

An uncursed copy prompts for a stick and adds 1d10 charges; a blessed copy adds 2d10, capped at 99. A cursed copy sets the selected stick's charge to 0. Choosing anything other than a stick is rejected.

An uncursed copy identifies itself before target selection. Cancelling or choosing no object leaves every target unchanged but still consumes the scroll.

Strategy

Reserve a blessed copy for a valuable depleted stick because it doubles the charge roll. Identify an unknown copy before exposing a high-charge stick: cursed draining discards all of its remaining charges.
