Hi all,

I am trying to create a spellbook of remove curse with a magic marker, but it did not work. Is it possible to create a spellbook that I never find earlier in the game ? Shall I retry ?

Thanks,

Christophe

 Only wizards with good luck have a chance of writing an unknown spellbook, but that chance is low enough that I don't usually use my magic markers that way.
 Here's how I use magic markers: Save all the blank scrolls you find. Figure out if they are blessed or cursed. When you finally find good armor that you want to ascend with, write a blessed scroll of charging if you can, then write all the enchant armors you can. You can recharge the magic marker once. Then enchant your good armor up to +4 or +5.

-I guess I'm resurrecting this thread, but I wanted to add my two cents.  Yes, as an "extremely lucky" Wizard, your chances of writing an unknown (i.e. not previously identified) spellbook successfully are 98%.  It all depends on your specific situation, but once I have good armor and a few other necessary scrolls, I generally just use magic markers to write whatever spellbooks I want but haven't found yet.

-As any other class, it can still be worth trying... with excellent luck your chance of writing an unknown spellbook is 33%, or 1 in 3.  If you don't need a magic marker for other things (i.e. scrolls of enchant armor/weapon), and if you really, ''really'' need that spellbook of identify/magic mapping/etc., it's definitely possible to get what you need.  Just be prepared to waste a few charges in the process.  This is pretty much laid out in [[Magic_marker#Unknown_Scrolls_and_Spellbooks | "Unknown Scrolls and Spellbooks"]] in the [[Magic_marker | Magic marker]] entry. -- [[User:JohnHarker|JohnHarker]] 15:11, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

	For a [[Wizard]] with at least 6 [[Luck]], the chance of successfully writing an unknown scroll/spellbook is about 97–98%. That's a pretty good chance if you ask me, especially if you're writing something cheap. -- [[User:Killian\|Killian]] 04:57, 5 September 2008 (UTC)		For a [[Wizard]] with at least 6 [[Luck]], the chance of successfully writing an unknown scroll/spellbook is about 97–98%.

	So for a beginner, what is the use of a magic marker ? I mean, I know that I will die before loosing my spellbook, so I will not need a magic marker to rewrite a spellbook that I allready have...

When you finally find good armor that you want to ascend with, write a blessed scroll of charging if you can, then write all the enchant armors you can. You can recharge the magic marker once. Then enchant your good armor up to +4 or +5.
		+
		+	In long games I will also use a magic marker to write known spellbooks that have faded, like Identify. Sometimes I'll write a scroll of genocide, but magic marker charges are too valuable for much else. That means magic markers are not really for the beginning game, IMO.
		+
		+	An uncursed scroll of remove curse is like casting remove curse. Sacrificing an praying at altars can remove curse, too.
		+
		+	Good luck!
