The '''scroll of alertness''' is a [[Scrolls|scroll]] in the Omega 0.90.4 remake. It appears as a bright-yellow {{Omega glyph|?|color=yellow|label=question mark}} until its shuffled inscription is identified. Its cursed appearance is ''scroll of drowsiness''.
The '''scroll of alertness''' temporarily sharpens the reader's awareness. A cursed copy is named ''scroll of drowsiness'', although it has no effect when read.
 
== 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 50, item level 1, 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.

A neutral scroll adds 4 to ALERT and a blessed scroll adds 9. Alertness makes searching automatically pass the chance gate and prevents an invisible-monster surprise from taking the player's action. Despite the cursed label, the wrapper does nothing at all when the scroll is cursed.
An uncursed scroll grants 4 units of alertness and a blessed scroll grants 9. While alert, the reader always succeeds when searching and cannot lose an action to an invisible monster's surprise.


The lower-level alert routine contains a sleep branch, but this scroll's wrapper calls it only when blessing is nonnegative; cursed drowsiness therefore neither sleeps nor identifies the scroll. The status later decays through periodic checks.
