  • Scroll of Light
rdfs:comment
  • Scrolls of light are Scrolls that, when read, light the area around the player.
  • Price : 12 gp 5 sp
  • The scroll of light generates a permanent field of light when read. The field has a 9-unit radius if blessed or a 5-unit radius if uncursed. If cursed, it instead creates a 5-unit radius field of darkness and extinguishes active light sources. If confused, the scroll will instead produce a field of darkness regardless of the beatitude of the scroll - a 9-unit radius if the scroll was blessed, or a 5-unit radius if the scroll was uncursed or cursed. In addition, all carried light sources will be extinguished. Sunsword is not extinguished by the extinguishing effects, nor is the light generated by light producing creatures such as yellow lights.

Desirability
  • They are somewhat useful. Darkness naturally occurs randomly around dungeons, and can be a bit tricky to traverse, so permanently lighting them is not always a bad idea. They are less effective than a wand of light or the Light spell, however — since scrolls cannot be read within darkness, rather can only be used adjacent to dark squares
