In [[SpliceHack]], the '''scroll of change material''' can warp the [[material]] of an item.

== Effects ==

When read, the scroll will affect a single item in your inventory. There is a {{frac|1|2}} chance of your wielded item being targeted, if it exists. Otherwise a random piece of worn armor will be targeted.

If no item was targeted and the scroll was cursed you will abuse strength and constitution.

 If an item was targeted, its material will be changed. If the scroll is cursed, the resulting material will be plastic if possible; additionally the item will be cursed and lose its [[erodeproof]]ing. If the scroll is [[blessed]], the item will be blessed.

-In [[Hack'EM]], the scroll of change material was renamed to the ''scroll of transmogrify''. There are a few minor differences. If the identify of this scroll is already known, you will instead be asked for the specific item to target. [[Artifact]]s are no longer valid targets. The resulting material can also be one that the hero hates.

 The [[dragonhide]] material is also implemented and works the same as in [[EvilHack]], so this can be a fantastic goal for turning ordinary cloaks, helms, and gloves into more powerful armor.

 Like most scrolls, scrolls of change material are single-use. If there are a high number of items to warp or the goal is to obtain a specific material, many scrolls may be required. In these cases, it may be desirable to use a [[transmuter (SpliceHack)|transmuter]] to change materials instead.

 Reading cursed scrolls of change material (or scrolls of any beatitude while confused) should be avoided unless you intentionally want [[plastic]] armor or weapons. For armor normally made of [[cloth]] or [[leather]], plastic is not bad by comparison. However for armor normally made of [[iron]] or [[metal]], plastic offers relatively poor [[AC]].

 Sometimes changing an object material is useful. In SpliceHack an armor's material can affect its [[AC]], and there are damage bonuses for using weapons made of [[iron]], [[copper]] and [[silver]]. Some materials such as [[mithril]] are also immune to [[erosion]].
