| 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
- Remember that your own willpower is also affected! Watch out for enemy hexers like Erica, Erolcha, merfolk sirens, or orc sorcerers when using this scroll.
- Scrolls of vulnerability aren't only for stabbers using Ensorcelled Hibernation; they can be useful for anyone with a wand of paralysis or charming and a few levels in Evocations. They're also useful for worshippers of Lugonu to make banishing foes easier.
- Ideal enemies to read this against are powerful uniques without hexes in their spell set. Good targets would be nasty brutes like Donald, Bai Suzhen, Frederick, or Sojobo. They can also be useful if you're struggling against say, hydras or dire elephants, though they aren't plentiful enough for this to be a regularly-used tactic.
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.
