Scroll of vulnerability

Version 0.26: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

Type	Scroll
Name	Scroll of vulnerability
Icon

A scroll that briefly halves the willpower of the reader and any nearby beings, rendering them vulnerable to many magical effects. The scroll cannot affect those fully immune to such effects.

Reading a scroll of vulnerability inflicts vulnerability on everything in your line of sight (including you), reducing willpower by half for a short duration. Monsters with unshakeable will are unaffected.

Strategy

• 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 willpower.
• Remember that your own willpower is 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 transferred to the potion of cancellation.
