The scroll of the warp moves the reader to another depth of the current dungeon. Its identified name is unchanged by BUC state.
| BUC state | Result |
|---|---|
| Blessed | Inside a dungeon, accepts a valid chosen depth; positive blessing adds no modifier. |
| Uncursed | Inside a dungeon, accepts a valid chosen depth; an invalid choice deflects to a random valid depth. |
| Cursed | Inside a dungeon, always deflects to a random valid depth. |
Effects and interactions
Inside a dungeon, an uncursed scroll asks for a destination depth and changes level when the number is valid. An invalid depth is deflected to a random valid depth. A cursed scroll is always deflected to such a random depth regardless of the entered number.
The scroll has no effect outside a dungeon. Blessing does not extend the valid range or otherwise modify travel. An uncursed copy identifies itself before asking for a destination.
Strategy
Use an identified uncursed copy for deliberate vertical travel. Keep an escape plan for the arrival level. A cursed or invalid request gives up control over depth, so testing an unknown copy can make navigation worse rather than better.
