Effects and interactions
| BUC state | Result |
|---|---|
| Blessed | Displays the same comprehensive character report as an uncursed copy. |
| Uncursed | Displays a comprehensive character report without changing state. |
| Cursed | Prints an ignorance message and displays no report. |
An uncursed scroll opens a comprehensive character report covering attributes, level and experience, alignment, combat values, statuses, and known immunities or vulnerabilities. It reports state without modifying it. A cursed scroll prints an ignorance message and provides no report.
An uncursed copy identifies itself when read. A cursed copy provides no report and does not automatically identify itself.
Strategy
Read it when hidden character state would change equipment, route, or combat decisions. Identification beforehand prevents wasting a cursed copy that provides no information.
