The scroll of the warp moves the reader to another depth of the current dungeon. Its identified name is unchanged by BUC state.

Effects and interactions

BUC stateResult
BlessedInside a dungeon, accepts a valid chosen depth; positive blessing adds no modifier.
UncursedInside a dungeon, accepts a valid chosen depth; an invalid choice deflects to a random valid depth.
CursedInside a dungeon, always deflects to a random valid depth.

Inside a dungeon, an uncursed scroll asks for a destination depth and changes level when the number is valid. An invalid depth is deflected to a random valid depth. A cursed scroll is always deflected to such a random depth regardless of the entered number.

The scroll has no effect outside a dungeon. Blessing does not extend the valid range or otherwise modify travel. An uncursed copy identifies itself before asking for a destination.

Strategy

Use an identified uncursed copy for deliberate vertical travel. Keep an escape plan for the arrival level. A cursed or invalid request gives up control over depth, so testing an unknown copy can make navigation worse rather than better.
