Arcane Stylus

Arcane Stylus

The Arcane Stylus (formally known as Stylus in the game code) is a magical tool used to inscribe special properties onto armor or transform blank scrolls in Remixed Dungeon.

Properties

  • Rarity: Rare
  • Weight: 1
  • Durability: Single use item
  • Class Restriction: Can be used by all hero classes
  • Curses: Cannot be used on cursed items

Function

  • Inscription: Allows inscribing random glyphs on armor or transforming blank scrolls into random scrolls
  • Random Effects: The specific glyph or scroll type is randomly determined when used
  • Equipment Enhancement: Improves armor with magical properties
  • Target Items: Can be used on armor and Blank Scrolls
  • Single Action: Uses the 'Inscribe' action to perform either function

Special Interactions

  • With Armor: Adds a random glyph to armor (replacing any existing glyph)
  • With Blank Scrolls: Transforms the blank scroll into a random scroll

Strategy

  • Best used on high-quality armor to maximize benefit from glyphs
  • Consider the risks vs. rewards as effects are random - you may get a highly desirable effect or a less useful one
  • Very valuable for improving defensive equipment with useful glyphs
  • Can be used to create scrolls when none are available
  • Most effective when applied to armor to enhance protection

Obtaining

Arcane Styluses can be found:

  • As rare drops in dungeon levels
  • In special treasure areas
  • Potentially for purchase in advanced shops
  • As rewards for completing challenging tasks
