The scroll of self-knowledge displays a detailed report of the reader's character. A cursed copy is identified as a scroll of delusion and withholds the report.

Effects and interactions

BUC stateResult
BlessedDisplays the same comprehensive character report as an uncursed copy.
UncursedDisplays a comprehensive character report without changing state.
CursedPrints an ignorance message and displays no report.

An uncursed scroll opens a comprehensive character report covering attributes, level and experience, alignment, combat values, statuses, and known immunities or vulnerabilities. It reports state without modifying it. A cursed scroll prints an ignorance message and provides no report.

An uncursed copy identifies itself when read. A cursed copy provides no report and does not automatically identify itself.

Strategy

Read it when hidden character state would change equipment, route, or combat decisions. Identification beforehand prevents wasting a cursed copy that provides no information.
