The scroll of cosmic flux is a scroll in the Omega 0.90.4 remake. It appears as a bright-yellow ? until its shuffled inscription is identified. Its cursed appearance is scroll of cosmic flux.
Generation and appearance
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 300, item level 5, 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.

| BUC state | Result |
|---|---|
| Blessed | Uses the same guarded level-reset routine; positive blessing adds no modifier. |
| Uncursed | Outside the city and on the current dungeon's level, dispels and regenerates that depth. |
| Cursed | Uses the same guarded level-reset routine; cursing adds no different effect. |
Effects and interactions
Outside the city, on a level belonging to the current dungeon, reading erases the current level, marks it ungenerated, and changes back to the same depth so it is regenerated. In the city the flux is negated; in another guarded environment it has no effect.
The implementation does not use blessing, so every BUC state reaches the same environmental checks. Only uncursed use automatically identifies the scroll. The routine also invokes a dispel before rebuilding the level.
Strategy
Cosmic flux is a level-reset tool, not a local attack. Use it only when abandoning the current layout and its remaining opportunities is acceptable. Its BUC state does not make the reset stronger or safer.
Trivial
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.
