| This scroll cancels all magical enchantments from the reader and from beings in the vicinity. Also, the magical resistances of the reader and nearby beings are halved for a short duration. The latter effect does not apply to beings fully immune to magic. |
Reading a scroll of vulnerability inflicts vulnerability on everything in your line of sight (including you), reducing magic resistance by half for a short duration. Magic-immune monsters are unaffected. These scrolls are somewhat rare, and usually start appearing by the middle floors of the Dungeon. They are primarily useful for enchanters or any other characters which need to overcome very high magic resistance. Just remember that your own magic resistance and buffs are also affected!
History
Prior to 0.15, scrolls of vulnerability would additionally cause all magical status effects to immediately expire, and would reduce your current magical contamination by 1-5 points. Both of these effects were transfered to the potion of cancellation.
