Sprite-scroll

Scrolls are common, one time use consumables with a variety of different effects. The most valuable of these is the scroll of gain attribute. Generally, cursed scrolls have the opposite effect of their normal counterparts. reading scrolls practices Literacy. You can create your own scrolls using a Gem cutter along with the Jeweler skill.

In Elona+ 2.19R the potency of scrolls now depends on the user's Literacy skill level and the character level. Their potency is now also increased by the "enchances your spells" equipment attribute as well as the Magic attribute. Also, some scrolls will be affected by the Memorization skill. Unless specifically mentioned, the scroll does not receive a bonus from the Memorization skill and not give Memorization skill experience when read.

Types of Scrolls[]

Ally[]

Attempts to spawn a Pet for you of roughly your level. Note that the ally summoned will not always be your level - even a level 30 character has a chance of getting a Putit. A boss-type pet <name> may also be summoned this way, although its stats and selling price are still those of a regular pet. Reading the scroll while your party is full consumes the scroll without giving you an ally.

Elona+[]

In Elona+, it will auto-save upon use and can not be used in the show room.

Omake Overhaul[]

In Omake overhaul, it can spawn the unique monsters, excepting those carrying precious items.

Change Material[]

Changes a target item's material type. Changes Most commonly it's a 'normal' material, unless the scroll is blessed, in which case 'superior' materials will result much more frequently, or cursed, in which case 'inferior' materials will be more common.

  • Blessed: Will act almost like a Superior Material scroll (but cannot reroll static artifacts).
  • Cursed: Will act almost like an Inferior Material scroll.

Elona+[]

In Elona+, scrolls of inferior/change/superior material cycle through a list of material qualities.

(Arrows show the change in material after using a scroll)

If the material is not on the list, it will be turned to zylon, and then follow the flow each time another scroll of change material is used

  • Change Material Unblessed : zylon >> wood >> obsidian >> chrome >> metal >> steel >> chain >> silver >> platinum >> gold >> perl >> griffon scale >> #reset
  • Change Material Blessed : zylon >> wood >> obsidian >> chrome >> metal >> steel >> chain >> silver >> platinum >> gold >> perl >> griffon scale >> dragon scale >> adamantium >> #reset
  • Change Material Cursed : Same as unblessed.
  • Inferior Material Unblessed : paper >> cloth >> silk >> mica >> bamboo >> raw >> leather >> glass >> scale >> coral >> bronze >> iron >> bone >> #reset
  • Inferior Material Blessed : Same as unblessed.
  • Inferior Material Cursed : Same as unblessed.
  • Superior Material Unblessed : dawn cloth >> spirit cloth >> dragon scale >> crystal >> titanium >> mithril >> adamantium >> emerald >> diamond >> #reset
  • Superior Material Blessed : dawn cloth >> spirit cloth >> dragon scale >> crystal >> titanium >> nanomachine >> mithril >> adamantium >> emerald >> diamond >> rubynus >> ether >> #reset
  • Superior Material Cursed : Same as unblessed.

In Omake overhaul, scrolls of change material have the following material pool they can change items to:

  • Unblessed: raw, bone, silk, coral, obsidian, platinum, chrome
  • Blessed: raw, gold, zylon, dawn cloth, titanium, mithril

Other: See Jeweler for easy ways to get Change Material scrolls.

Contingency[]

Blesses you with Contingency, a temporary buff which has an 80% chance of healing you if you take lethal damage. For example, a nuke would heal you for 1000 instead of damaging you. Probably.

  • In Elona+ Contingency's effect no longer heals you, it simply nullifies the lethal damage you take. Be wary of attacks that have more than one element (such as weapons that deal elemental damage in addition to physical damage), as these are technically considered different attacks.
  • Also, starting from version 2.19R, this scroll gives Memorization skill experience when read (but the potency of this scroll is static).

Curse[]

Attempts to curse an item at random. Does not have a 100% chance of working, and if it does, the Exorcist Feat has a very good chance (though also not 100%) of blocking the effect. If the item is already cursed, it will become doomed, though this probably doesn't make cursed consumables stronger or weaker. If you want to curse a specific item, just drop all your other items on the ground before using this. A few thing's cursed versions can be useful, so don't throw these out just because of what they do.

  • Blessed: No change in effect.
  • Cursed: Seems to trigger the curse attempt more often.

Detect Objects[]

Reveals the locations of all objects in the map. You can use the look command to see where they are. Can be used to easily find stairs.

Manufacture cost: 4 paper, 1 magic ink

  • In Elona+ Dense Object can now detect traps, hidden passages, and small medals within its area of effect, so it's a lot more useful now. This does not apply to cursed or doomed scrolls however.
  • Also, starting from version 2.19R, this scroll gives Memorization skill experience when read.

Enchant Armor[]

Increases the enchantment of an armor by 1 (maximum +2). This will also reduce negative enchantment caused by acid damage. Enchant armor scrolls will work on rings and necklaces.

  • Blessed: Increases enchantment by 1. (maximum +3)
  • Cursed: Increases enchantment by 1. (maximum +0)

In Elona+, uncursed scrolls can raise enchantment up to +5. Blessed scrolls can raise enchantment up to +6.

Enchant Weapon[]

Increases the enchantment of a weapon by 1 (maximum +2). This will also reduce negative enchantment caused by acid damage. Enchant weapon scrolls cannot be used on ammo.

  • Blessed: Increases enchantment by 1. (maximum +3)
  • Cursed: Increases enchantment by 1. (maximum +0)

In Elona+, uncursed scrolls can raise enchantment up to +5. Blessed scrolls can raise enchantment up to +6.

Escape[]

Attempts to return you to the surface from inside a dungeon. If successful, you will be placed on the world map on the dungeon's entrance square. The spell takes 10 turns to work. The spell will not work on no-teleport maps.

If you use this while doing an escort or delivery quest you will lose 10 karma.

Cursed: You are teleported to the prison.

Faith[]

Increases your favor with your God if you have one and exercises faith skill. Sells for a decent amount. Can be purchased at Miral and Garok's Workshop for 8 small medals.

  • Cursed: Abuses the faith skill.

Omake Overhaul[]

In Omake overhaul, Scrolls of Faith can be blessed by a god by placing it on a god's altar and praying. Scrolls of Faith blessed by a god can be given to NPCs to convert them to the respective god.

Flying[]

Decreases the weight, PV and damage bonus of an item by 15%. Use at your own discretion. Saves the game (not while in a moongate realm). Multiple uses on the same item are cumulative in effect.

The PV/damage loss does not affect equipment which already has a non-positive bonus.

Can be used to lower the weight of your shelter, or possibly even furniture you can't otherwise carry, such as an altar.

Cursed scrolls can only increase item weight to around 17,000s, after that they are counted as cargo items and are no longer selectable.

Only works on items in your inventory. (Sorry, this won't help you with thievery.)

  • Blessed: Reduces weight by 25% and PV/damage by 12.5%.
  • Cursed: Increases weight by 50% +1s and PV/damage by 12.5%, capped at +5 each use.

In Elona+, scrolls of flying will no longer influence PV and damage bonus, instead the item gets an invisible bonus based on it's weight, (weight / 5) to either pv or damage, capped at +40 or 200s.

  • Blessed: Reduces weight by 22%.
  • Cursed: Increases weight by 50% +1s.

Gain Attribute[]

Increases the potential of of a random skill by 20%. Can teach you a new skill instead (level 1 with potential 50%). Train corresponding Attribute (?). Learning a skill in this manner does NOT increase the platinum coin cost of learning skills at the trainer.

  • Blessed: Gives a random skill you do NOT already know, unless you know all skills; then, same as uncursed.
  • Cursed: Decreases level of a random skill by 1. Train potential of corresponding skill. Minimum skill level is 2. Impossible to forget a skill [1.16rfix2b]. In addition to this, it also decreases the corresponding attribute (increasing its potential).

Gain Material[]

Adds random materials to your inventory and saves your game.

  • Blessed: Adds more materials than normal.
  • Cursed: Adds only garbage.

Greater Identify[]

Fully identifies any item, including Artifacts.

Growth[]

Raises the potential of a random skill and saves the game. Sells for a good price.

  • Blessed: Boost potential twice for about 1.5x the value of a normal growth scroll; e.g. a normal scroll will boost potential by 25% but a blessed scroll will boost two potentials by 37% or one potential by 72%.
  • Cursed: Decreases the potential of a skill instead of increasing it.
  • In Elona+ 1.99, a blessed scroll of growth increases all skill potentials by 25%.

Healing Rain[]

Heals you and allies in your party.

  • In Elona+ 2.19R this scroll is affected by Memorization skill and also now also gives Memorization skill experience when read.

Holy Light[]

Gives you holy protection (power 250) for 15 turns.

  • The blessed scroll has a power of 350 and lasts 20 turns.
  • In Elona+ instead, it acts like the spell of the same name, removing one hex from the player character and all pets in sight. Also starting from 2.19R this scroll is affected by the Memorization skill and also now also gives Memorization skill experience when read.

Holy Rain[]

Gives you holy protection (power 250) for 15 turns (yes, the effect of this scroll is really no different from the scroll of Holy Light).

  • The blessed scroll has a power of 350 and lasts 20 turns.
  • In Elona+ instead, it acts like the Vanquish Hex spell, removing all hexes from the user. Also starting from 2.19R this scroll is affected by the Memorization skill and also now also gives Memorization skill experience when read.

Holy Veil[]

Gives you holy protection (power 216) for 65 turns.

  • The blessed scroll has a power of 300 and lasts 90 turns.
  • In Elona+ 2.19R this scroll is affected by the Memorization skill and also now also gives Memorization skill experience when read.

Identify[]

Attempts to identify a target item. Will only work on non-Artifact items. Artifact items will be half-identified and you will be told to have the item investigated or read a scroll of Greater Identify.

Manufacture cost: 1 paper, 1 memory fragment

Incognito[]

Gives you a disguise effect for 10 turns. Useful for fooling guards and shopkeepers if you're a criminal; they will not attack for the duration of the effect. Same effect as a disguise kit.

  • Blessed: Lasts 15 turns.
  • In Elona+ 2.19R this scroll is affected by the Memorization skill and also now also gives Memorization skill experience when read.

Inferior Material[]

Change a target item's material type to an inferior material. Will not work on Godly-level Artifacts (use a Material kit) but will work on Miracle-level Artifacts and below.

The primary uses of this are to attempt to change weapons and armor into raw or paper, which can be beneficial in a number of situations: eating raw equipment will train your attributes if the item itself and not its current material gives bonuses to attributes, or if it has a "maintains <attribute>" enchant, you will get a buff to said attribute's potential (50 potential it seems) for 2000 turns. Paper is also the lightest material, so you're carrying some extra sets of gear to use in specific, non-combat situations, turning them into paper will reduce your inventory weight.

Other uses include eating raw equipment to remove a cursed piece of equipment stuck on you or for nutrition if it's non-cursed. The scroll can also actually improve materials, as it selects anything from raw/candy up to obsidian, it can be worth trying on that bronze Claymore you start with to get one of the better materials. Fairies or light-armor users may wish to try for mica or paper equipment, since both tend to reduce weight to a fraction of one stone, although later they'll need to use gear made of light superior materials.

Can also be used to improve the value of furniture if the furniture doesn't have a material type, as even rawwork is better than no material.

  • Blessed: More likely to get "good" inferior materials. (mica, iron, leather)
  • Cursed: More likely to get raw.

Elona+[]

In Elona+, scrolls of inferior/change/superior material cycle through a list of material qualities.

(Arrows show the change in material after using a scroll)

If the material is not on the list, it will be turned to paper, and then follow the flow each time another scroll of inferior material is used

  • Unblessed: paper->cloth->silk->mica -> bamboo -> raw -> leather-> glass-> scale->coral->bronze->iron->bone->paper
  • Blessed: Same as unblessed.
  • Cursed: Same as unblessed.


Omake Overhaul[]

In Omake overhaul, scrolls of inferior material have the following material pool they can change items to:

  • Unblessed: raw, paper, cloth, mica, leather, lead, bronze, iron
  • Blessed: raw, scale, glass, crystal, chain, pearl, silver, steel


Other: See Jeweler for easy ways to get Inferior Material scrolls.

Knowledge[]

Blesses you with Divine Wisdom (boosts your learning and magic attributes, and your Literacy skill) for 71 turns.

  • Blessed: Lasts for 102 turns.
  • Cursed: Lasts for 22 turns.
  • In Elona+ 2.19R this scroll is affected by the Memorization skill and also now also gives Memorization skill experience when read.

Magical Map[]

Reveals nearly every square (roughly 90%) in the current map. Can be used to easily find stairs.

  • Blessed: Reveals entire map.

Mana[]

Restores your mana reserves.

  • In Elona+ 2.19R this scroll is affected by the Memorization skill and also now also gives Memorization skill experience when read.

Minor Teleport[]

Same as Teleport, but with a 10-tile restricted range.

Manufacture cost: 2 paper, 2 charcoal

Name[]

Allows you change a random artifact's name, chosen like alias selection during character creation. Has no effect on normal items or non-random artifacts. In normal Elona a living weapon will alter its level-up bonus list when its name is changed, though this is no longer true in Elona+.

  • Blessed: Same.
  • Cursed: Same.

Oracle[]

Tells you which precious artifacts have been created since the last time the oracle scroll or spell has been used, and where/when they were created. (It reads the art.log file stored in your save folder.) Sells for a very good price.

  • Cursed: Does not reveal any information about artifacts created. "You hear a sepulchral whisper but the voice is too small to distinguish a word."

Recharge[]

Attempts to recharge a rod, spellbook or other items with charges such as blankets and disguise sets, up to a certain limit, which varies from item to item (generally, more powerful rods/books have a lower limit). Doesn't always work, and if you're unlucky, the target item may be destroyed. Some items cannot be recharged, like spellbook of harvest/wishing and rod of domination/wishing.

Return[]

Attempts to return you to a point of your choice ("The air around you becomes charged."). You can choose between the lowest level of Lesimas that you have visited, or your house. Larna and the Sister's Mansion will also be available when you have been to these locations once. In Elona+ the North Tyris South Border, South Tyris North Border and Maid Mansion will also become available once you've visited these locations. Bosses in non-guaranteed (randomly generated) dungeons have these as a guaranteed drop. Note that it takes 10 turns for the spell to work (Note: as of 1.16xmas, the spell takes twenty turns to activate). The spell will not work on teleport-proof maps (such as the arena). Note that being "overweight!" (carrying >200% of your weight limit) will prevent you from returning ("Someone shouts, Sorry, overweight."), but just being overweight (carrying between 100% and 200% of your weight limit) or having your cart overloaded with cargo presents no problem. In Elona+, on the other hand, your cart being overweight ("Return can not be too heavy Cargo.") will also prevent you from returning.

If you return while doing an escort or delivery quest ("You commit a crime.") you will lose 10 karma.

To cancel a return in progress, use another return scroll or the Return spell ("The air around you gradually loses power.").

If the scroll is cursed, it teleports you to prison instead ("The capricious controller of time has changed your destination!").

Manufacture cost: 3 paper, 2 howling weed

Superior Material[]

Changes a target item's material type to a superior material. This is not recommended to use on any item short of a Miracle-level Artifact. Will not work on Godly-level Artifacts (use a Material kit). Can reroll static artifacts.

  • Blessed: Superior materials (and raw) are guaranteed. However, you can't get dragon scale or adamantium if the scroll is blessed (or cursed).
  • Cursed: Will act almost like a Change Material scroll.

Elona+[]

In Elona+, scrolls of inferior/change/superior material cycle through a list of material qualities.

(Arrows show the change in material after using a scroll)

If the material is not on the list, it will be turned to dawn cloth, and then follow the flow each time another scroll is used.

  • Superior Material Unblessed : dawn cloth >> spirit cloth >> dragon scale >> crystal >> titanium >> mithril >> adamantium >> emerald >> diamond >> #reset
  • Superior Material Blessed : dawn cloth >> spirit cloth >> dragon scale >> crystal >> titanium >> nanomachine >> mithril >> adamantium >> emerald >> diamond >> rubynus >> ether >> #reset
  • Superior Material Cursed : Same as unblessed.

Omake Overhaul[]

In Omake overhaul, scrolls of superior material have the following material pool they can change items to:

  • Unblessed: raw, spirit cloth, griffon scale, diamond, emerald
  • Blessed: raw, dragon scale, rubynus, ether, adamantium

Teleport[]

Attempts to move you to a random point on the floor of the dungeon you are on. Will not work on no-teleport maps (such as the Pyramid), and may put you in more danger than if you had not used it.

Manufacture cost: 3 paper, 2 charcoal

Uncurse[]

Attempts to remove curses on equipped items only. Does not have a 100% success rate. Unblessed version cannot undoom equipment.

  • Blessed: Attempts to remove curse on whole inventory. Has a 100% success rate to remove Curse (it may sometimes say that the curse was resisted even though it wasn't). Sometimes removes Doom from your entire inventory.
  • Cursed: Curses an item.
  • Other: If given to an NPC, a blessed scroll will remove curse status, but almost never doom. 0 success out of 17 attempts while trying to undoom an NPC's equipment. To remove doom from an NPC's equipment, you will need to use Vanish Curse.

Manufacture cost: 4 paper, 2 holy weed

Vanish Curse[]

Attempts to remove curses on equipped items only. Does not have a 100% success rate, but has a much higher success rate than scrolls of Remove Curse. Can remove Doom.

  • Blessed: Attempts to remove curse/doom on whole inventory. Has a 100% success rate on your equipment. Lesser effect on the rest of your inventory.

Wonder[]

Gives you spell stocks for a random spell.

  • Blessed: Gives stock to two spells, or the same spell twice.
  • Cursed: Causes loss of all stocks for a random spell.

In Elona+, where Rods of Wish are much rarer, Scrolls of Wonder are a reliable, if slow, way to get Wishes for mages with very high Casting. Wonder scrolls give stocks in a randomly chosen spell, with Wish being 10 times rarer but all other spells having equal likelihood of being chosen, giving an expectation of 780 uncursed scrolls per 200 Wish stock. Empirically, Wish stocks are given roughly once every 400 Blessed scrolls (tested with 6 trials of 10000 scrolls; mean 26.17, std. dev. 6.21).

Types of Scrolls (Elona+)[]

Attract[]

Brings 3 random enemies on the current map and places them next to you. Can be used like Dimensional Fishing except that this does not require Fishing skill.

  • Cursed: Same as uncursed.

Customization[]
