-These scrolls are most useful when applied to a weapon you intend to use through most of the game. Although they may be used to remove a curse on a weapon, the [[scroll of remove curse]] is a more common, less wasteful solution. Scrolls of enchant weapon are common enough that several will normally be found over the course of a long game, and with luck and forethought you can make extremely powerful weapons.

This avoids wasting too many scrolls on weapons you're not going to use in the end without crippling your ability to fight early on too heavily.
