+====== Scroll of Upgrade ======
+{{ rpd:images:item_ScrollOfUpgrade.png|Scroll of Upgrade }}
+The **Scroll of Upgrade** is a type of scroll in [[en:rpd:remixed_dungeon|Remixed Dungeon]] that enhances a single item, improving its quality and effectiveness.
+==== Description ====
+This scroll will upgrade a single item, improving its quality. A wand will increase in power and in number of charges; a weapon will inflict more damage or find its mark more frequently; a suit of armor will deflect additional blows; the effect of a ring on its wearer will intensify. Weapons and armor will also require less strength to use, and any curses on the item will be lifted.
+==== Effects ====
+When used on an item, the Scroll of Upgrade:
+  * Increases the item's level by +1 (e.g., +0 becomes +1, +5 becomes +6)
+  * Improves the item's effectiveness (higher damage, armor, etc.)
+  * Removes curses from the item
+  * For weapons: increases damage, accuracy, and reduces strength requirement
+  * For armor: increases blocking power and reduces strength requirement
+  * For rings: intensifies the ring's effect
+  * For wands: increases power and charge capacity
+  * Cannot upgrade items beyond +10
+==== Usage ====
+The scroll can be used on:
+  * [[en:rpd:weapons|Weapons]]
+  * [[en:rpd:armor|Armor]]
+  * [[en:rpd:rings|Rings]]
+  * [[en:rpd:wands|Wands]]
+==== Acquisition ====
+The Scroll of Upgrade can be found in:
+  * [[en:rpd:chests_mechanic|Chests]] in the dungeon
+  * [[en:rpd:shops|Shops]] (occasionally available)
+  * As a drop from certain enemies
+==== Strategy ====
+  * Best used on your current best equipment to maximize benefits
+  * Generally more valuable to upgrade weapons than armor
+  * For weapons, the damage increase is usually more beneficial than for armor
+  * Can also be used on wands to increase their charge capacity and recharge rate
+  * Prioritize upgrading your main weapon or armor piece first
+  * The scroll also removes curses from items
