| This scroll enchants and unbranded weapon so as to make it far more effective at inflicting harm on its wielder's enemies. The scroll can also be used on a weapon that is already permanently branded to randomly select a new brand. |
Upon reading a scroll of brand weapon, you will be asked to choose a non-artefact, non-blowgun weapon from your inventory to apply a randomly-selected brand to.
If you decide after reading it that you do not wish to alter any of your current weapons, you may cancel the process. Attempting to read it without an appropriate weapon in your inventory will also fail. However, doing either of these with an unidentified scroll will cause the scroll to be wasted.
The brand you receive depends on the following:
Brand Likelihood
Melee Weapons
- Flaming: 30/148 (20%)
- Freezing: 30/148 (20%)
- Venom: 20/148 (13.5%)
- Draining: 15/148 (10%)
- Vorpal: 15/148 (10%)
- Electrocution: 15/148 (10%)
- Protection: 12/148 (8%)
- Vampiric: 8/148 (5.5%)
- Chaos: 3/148 (2%)
Ranged Weapons
- Flame: 30/120 (25%)
- Frost: 30/120 (25%)
- Venom: 20/120 (16.6%)
- Vorpal: 20/120 (16.6%)
- Evasion: 12/120 (10%)
- Electrocution: 5/120 (4%)
- Chaos: 3/120 (2.5%)
The selected brand will automatically be rerolled if either of the following occur:
- The new brand is identical to the weapon's former brand
- Your god disapproves of the selected brand
History
Prior to 0.15, rebranding a distortion weapon would trigger a distortion unwield effect. Also, the scroll would automatically affect your wielded weapon, rather than letting you choose a target.
Prior to 0.14, you could control which brand you received to some extent: any temporary brand your wielded weapon held upon reading would be made permanent. Additionally, any time you gave your weapon one of the following brands, you would receive the following effect:
- Flame/Flaming: Inner Flame explosion centered on reader
- Frost/Freezing: Ozocubu's Refrigeration
- Draining/Vampiricism: Moderate draining to the reader
- Venom: Olgreb's Toxic Radiance
- Electrocution: Orb of Electrocution centered on reader
- Chaos: Chaos-branded explosion
The following temporary brands could not be affixed this way, and attempting to do so was punished as follows:
- Pain: Torment
- Distortion: A random Translocations miscast effect (possibly including banishment)
- Antimagic: Drains all your MP
The scroll of brand weapon was added in 0.13, replacing the scroll of vorpalise weapon.
