Type Scroll
Name Scroll of brand weapon
Icon Scroll of brand weapon.png
A scroll that imbues a weapon with a random brand, such as flame, freezing, or venom. Any existing brand will be replaced. Artefacts cannot be branded in this way.

Upon reading a scroll of brand weapon, you will be asked to choose a non-artefact weapon from your inventory to receive a permanent, randomly-selected brand. This will also replace any brand currently on the targeted weapon, if any.

If you have already identified the scroll, you may cancel the process by pressing Esc without consuming it.

The brand you receive depends on the following[1]:

Brand Likelihood

Melee Weapons

Ranged Weapons

The selected brand will automatically be rerolled in two cases:

  • the new brand is identical to the weapon's former brand;
  • your god disapproves of the selected brand.

Note that the scroll cannot give antimagic, holy wrath, pain, speed, or spectral brand to weapons.
