| − | Reading any of the '''scrolls of enchant weapon''' will attempt to permanently enchant your currently wielded weapon to be more effective in combat, and will uncurse it if it is [[cursed]]. The enchantment effect of these scrolls will sometimes fail if the wielded weapon is already enchanted above +3, and will always fail if the weapon is enchanted to +9 or if you're currently wielding an [[artefact]] weapon, a [[magical staff]], a [[rod]], a [[deck]], a non-combat item, or [[Unarmed Combat|nothing]] (you can't enchant your fists). Successful enchantment will be reported as the weapon glowing, with different effects and colors for each of the three varieties:
| |
| − | *'''Enchant Weapon I''': Glows green, increases accuracy by up to +1.
| |
| − | *'''Enchant Weapon II''': Glows red, increases damage by up to +1.
| |
| − | *'''Enchant Weapon III''': Glows yellow, increases damage ''and'' accuracy by up to +1d2

| − | The message you receive upon reading depends upon the following:

| − | Raising your weapon's damage enchantment level also improves its ability to resist [[corrosion]] - the higher the enchantment, the better its ability to resist. This reaches 100% immunity at +5. Bear in mind that your weapon's ''accuracy'' enchantment level has no effect on corrosion.

| − | Regardless of success or failure, reading a scroll of enchant weapon will identify it, though each of the three types must be identified individually.

| − | ==Strategy==
| |
| − | *Although it's tempting to save these scrolls up until you find the perfect weapon, you shouldn't be too stingy with them. A general good practice is to enchant whatever weapon you're currently using up to +4, only going past that for the weapon you intend to use for the rest of the game. This avoids wasting too many scrolls on weapons you'll eventually toss without crippling your ability to survive early on.
| |
| − | *Some [[treasure trove]]s require you give them a weapon with a certain enchantment level to gain access. While these weapons may occur naturally, it's often easier to find an appropriate weapon and enchant it yourself. Usually, if you save the majority of your scrolls for an endgame-quality weapon, you'll know whether or not you're dealing with a weapon-demanding trove by the time you want to use your scrolls. The contents of a trove are usually worth the investment, though this is by no means guaranteed.
| |
| − | *Using these scrolls to uncurse your weapon is extremely wasteful, as [[scrolls of remove curse]] are common and can uncurse multiple items at once. Do so only as a last resort.
