The scroll of blessing improves a chosen item and can raise its enchantment. A cursed copy is identified as a scroll of cursing and harms a random equipped item instead.
Effects and interactions
| BUC state | Result |
|---|---|
| Blessed | Raises an eligible target's blessing by 1 and changes its enchantment bonus to one greater than its absolute value. A target at -2 disintegrates; lower values resist. |
| Uncursed | Raises an eligible target below +1 by 1 and changes its enchantment bonus to one greater than its absolute value. More cursed targets resist. |
| Cursed | Chooses random equipped gear, lowers its blessing by 2, and may reduce its enchantment bonus. |
An uncursed or blessed scroll prompts for a target. If the target accepts the effect, its blessing rises by 1 and its enchantment bonus becomes one greater than its absolute value. A blessed scroll disintegrates a target at -2, while still more cursed targets resist. A cursed scroll instead selects a random equipped possession, lowers its blessing by 2, and may reduce its enchantment.
The scroll identifies itself before target selection in every BUC state. Cash is unaffected. Cancelling target selection changes no item, but still consumes the scroll.
Strategy
Bless known equipment rather than gambling on a severely cursed target. A blessed copy is the only state that can remove a -2 item by disintegration; an uncursed copy cannot. Unequip important gear before reading a suspected cursed copy to reduce the eligible target set.
