The scroll of wishing grants one of a fixed set of named wishes. Its identified name is unchanged by BUC state, making an unidentified cursed copy especially dangerous.

Effects and interactions

BUC stateResult
BlessedAccepts one exact wish word; blessing adds no choices or strength.
UncursedAccepts one exact wish word.
CursedImmediately invokes death.

Uncursed use accepts exact case-sensitive wish words including Power, Skill, Wealth, Balance, Chaos, Law, Location, Knowledge, Health, Destruction, Acquisition, and Summoning. Each maps to a fixed resource, alignment, travel, spell, healing, attack, item, or summon effect. A cursed copy immediately invokes death.

After a surviving wish, the scroll becomes blank. The wish Death also kills the reader. Unknown text is rejected as a foolish wish, but the scroll is still spent.

Strategy

Identify and uncurse this scroll before reading it, because a cursed copy is fatal. Check capitalization before entering a wish, then choose the fixed result that best addresses the current run; arbitrary item names are not accepted.
