Scroll of Psionic Blast

The Scroll of Psionic Blast is a type of scroll in Remixed Dungeon that creates a powerful mental blast affecting all visible creatures.

When this scroll is read, it creates a psionic blast that affects all creatures visible to the reader:

• Damage: Deals damage between 1 and 2/3 of the target's max HP (Random.IntRange(1, mob.ht() * 2 / 3))
• Blindness: Causes blindness for 3-6 turns (Random.Int(3, 6)) to all affected creatures including the player
• Area of Effect: Affects all creatures in the field of view (fieldOfView array check)
• Self-Damage: Also damages the player who reads the scroll
• Visual Effect: Screen flashes white (0xFFFFFF color) via GameScene.flash()
• Sound: Plays Assets.SND_BLAST sound effect

• Weight: 5
• Price: 80 gold coins when identified, base price when unidentified (price() method)
• Identification: One use to identify (read to learn effect, sets known status)

• Reading: When read aloud, the screen flashes white and a blast sound is played
• Invisibility Dispel: Dispels invisibility from the reader via Invisibility.dispel()
• Blindness Effect: Causes temporary blindness to all creatures in field of view (including reader)
• High Risk/High Reward: Can eliminate multiple enemies but at considerable risk to player
• Mob Iteration: Iterates through all mobs on the level using Dungeon.level.getCopyOfMobsArray()

• Found as random drops in dungeon levels
• Available in shops
• Sometimes found in chests
• More commonly found on deeper dungeon levels

• Most effective when there are multiple enemies in line of sight
• Can be used to deal with dangerous creatures you need to blind anyway
• Consider closing doors to limit the blast to specific areas
• Timing is critical as you'll also be blinded after using it for 3-6 turns
• Particularly effective against groups of powerful enemies
• Damage dealt is between 1 and 2/3 of the target's max HP (not based on current HP)
