New page

You can use the { command to manually inscribe items; alternatively, you can also inscribe when viewing items from the inventory (done by pressing the item's letter). This adds a note in curly braces to the item description. Besides simply allowing you to make comments about items, there are several further uses.

==Automatic Inscriptions==

These are created when you identify or use items. They are a quick reference to what the item does, or what it has been tried on.

===Automatic Inscription Examples===

If you've tried an item that had no effect and didn't ask for a target:
<pre>{tried}</pre>

If you've tried an item that had no effect and asked for a target:
<pre>{tried on spiffy gold ring}</pre>

If you've identified an artefact item:
<pre>{Acc+2 AC+1 +Lev}</pre>

==Custom Inscriptions==

When you inspect an item in your inventory, or press the { key, you can set an inscription on the item. There are certain special keywords that will perform various functions. Custom inscriptions are helpful for protecting special items, or when automatically set on very powerful items.

Example of protecting a stone for an Earth elemental caster:
<pre>!w =f !D My Stone</pre>

Then, if in 'a' and identified as +0, the stone will then appear as:
<pre>a) +0 stone {!w =f !D My Stone}</pre>

These options will prompt you if you attempt to unwield it, will not quiver it, and will prompt you before anything that can destroy it, as well as give it a 'name'.

To prompt before evoking a wand of healing:
<pre>autoinscribe = wand of healing:!v</pre>
