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

Ranged Weapons

The selected brand will automatically be rerolled if any of the following occur:

  • The new brand is identical to the weapon's former brand
  • Your god disapproves of the selected brand

The following temporary brands could not be affixed this way, and attempting to do so was punished as follows:

The scroll of brand weapon was added in 0.13, replacing the scroll of vorpalise weapon.
