Reading a scroll of immolation will affect all creatures in your line of sight as though they were the victim of an Inner Flame spell; until the status effect wears off, killing them will cause them to release a violent fiery explosion. The size and damage of the explosion varies based on the size of the monster slain, and is powerful enough to severely injure or kill careless characters. Used wisely, however, these scrolls can be very useful; coupled with a decent ranged weapon or an attack wand, you can safely kill a single weak monster and initiate a chain reaction that eradicates everything around it. If you happen to have rF++ or better, along with high AC, you can generally ignore the risks involved in using these scrolls and simply resist the explosion, though this may still destroy some of your scrolls.
Reading this scroll has no effect on summoned or magic-immune monsters.
History
Prior to 0.13, these scrolls were significantly less useful; they would unleash a single moderately-powerful explosion centered on the reader, though thankfully this explosion could only destroy scrolls in very early versions of the game.
