| A scroll with no apparent practical use. |
Scrolls of random uselessness are a common kind of scroll, which, upon reading, has a chance to create a series of harmless, impractical effects.

History
- Prior to 0.19, the scroll wasn't completely useless, as reading it had a 1 in 8 chance to Summon Butterflies.
- Prior to 0.17, the scroll could reassemble itself when the player read it.
- Prior to the skill training overhaul in 0.9, scrolls of random uselessness could be used to train the first level of Spellcasting, which gave them some slight desirability, particularly for their ability to sometimes reassemble in the player's hands.
- Prior to 0.5, these scrolls were not identified when used, a trait which could make them genuinely annoying at times.
