The scroll of displacement makes attacks less likely to hit the reader for a short time. A cursed copy is identified as a scroll of vulnerability and makes a night gaunt's special attack certain while its effect lasts.

Effects and interactions

BUC stateResult
BlessedGrants displacement for 1 through 6 duration units.
UncursedGrants displacement for 0 through 5 duration units.
CursedInflicts vulnerability for 1 through 6 duration units.

An uncursed scroll grants displacement for 0 through 5 duration units; a blessed copy grants 1 through 6. While displaced, an ordinary monster hit has a one-in-two chance to strike the displaced image instead. A cursed scroll inflicts vulnerability for 1 through 6 duration units.

Both effects wear off over time. While vulnerability lasts, a night gaunt's attempt to carry the reader away is guaranteed to succeed.

Strategy

Blessing removes the uncursed scroll's possible zero-duration result. Use displacement before sustained melee rather than after taking the hit. Treat an unknown copy cautiously around night gaunts because vulnerability makes their special attack certain.
