  • 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()

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

Function

  • 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

Obtaining

  • Found as random drops in dungeon levels
  • Available in shops
  • Sometimes found in chests

Strategy

  • 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)
