The '''felt marker''' is a [[tool]] from [[GruntHack]]. It is mostly identical to a [[magic marker]], except that it cannot be used to write [[scroll]]s or [[spellbook]]s; the writing simply fades from them if the player attempts to do so (preserving scrolls unlike the magic marker).

It is best used for [[engraving]], as it produces graffiti (which is semi-permanent).

-An unidentified felt marker is a source of great disappointment for players who believe they have stumbled upon a magic marker, only to watch the ink fade from a [[Scroll of blank paper|blank scroll]]. However, this does not remotely preclude it from being useful: failing to write a scroll this way can be used to informally identify and type-[[name]] a felt marker without wasting the scroll, making magic markers easier to distinguish in the future. Using felt markers for engraving [[Elbereth]] can also preserve wand charges for offensive use or escaping.
