The scroll of enchantment 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 disenchantment.

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 200, 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.

BUC stateResult
BlessedFor an ordinary +0 scroll, a chosen non-artifact gains +2 and a chargeable target gains 2d10 charges. Blessing itself adds no extra delta.
UncursedFor an ordinary +0 scroll, a chosen non-artifact gains +2 and a chargeable target gains 2d10 charges.
CursedChooses equipped gear and tries to make it mundane: plus 0, one fewer charge, and no use function.

Effects and interactions

For an ordinary neutral or blessed +0 copy, a chosen non-artifact item gains +2 and a chargeable target gains 2d10 charges; blessing itself does not change the delta. At high existing plus, the target can explode in a mana storm. Artifacts restore a dispelled use function or cause a level-scaled mana storm. A cursed scroll chooses equipped gear and tries to reduce it to mundane state: plus 0, one fewer charge, and no use function.

Money follows a separate random percentage adjustment in the helpful branch. An unsuitable cursed target can escape with no change, and cursed or artifact targets may make the glow flicker instead of being made mundane. Worn equipment is removed and reapplied around the mutation.

Strategy

Use uncursed enchantment on a target whose +2 gain or added charges justify the explosion risk. Avoid pushing already highly enchanted equipment without accepting a mana storm. Unequip unique activated gear before testing a possibly cursed copy.
