A '''scroll of ice''' is a type of [[scroll]] that appears in [[Hack'EM]], and is adapted and altered from [[Scroll of ice (SlashTHEM)|the scroll]] [[SlashTHEM]].

==Generation==
Scrolls of ice make up {{frac|100}} (1%) of all scrolls randomly generated on the ground or as [[death drop]]s. General [[store]]s, second-hand bookstores and rare books shops can sell scrolls of ice.

==Description==
When [[read]], a scroll of ice will affect the [[hero]]'s surroundings and possibly the hero themselves depending on the scroll's [[beatitude]]:

* A blessed scroll creates 3 squares of [[ice]] on adjacent squares around the hero, and deals 3d6 [[cold]] damage to monsters within a 5-square radius.
* An uncursed scroll creates 5 squares of ice on adjacent squares around the hero, blasts the hero's [[hand]] with cold air for 2d3 cold damage, and deals 2d3 cold damage to monsters within a 3-square radius.
* An cursed scroll creates 7 squares of ice on adjacent squares around the hero, blasts the hero's hand with cold air for 1d3 cold damage, and deals 1d3 cold damage to monsters within a 3-square radius.

Monsters with [[cold resistance]] are not affected, while the hero takes no damage if they have cold resistance from [[Partial intrinsic|the complete intrinsic]] or an extrinsic source. Monsters that have [[fire resistance]] but ''not'' cold resistance take +3d3 damage. [[Potion]]s in their inventory of monsters hit by the scroll have a {{frac|3}} chance per item of freezing and shattering.

 * Reading a scroll of any beatitude while underwater freezes the hero's square and inflicts 8d8 physical damage to the hero (naturally subject to [[half physical damage]]), and a hero that survives the damage is then ejected and placed on top of the resulting ice square.
-Reading the scroll outside of water will [[auto-identify]] it. The creation of ice can freeze pools, [[puddle]]s and [[sewage]], replaces [[lava]] with solid rock, and removes [[fire trap]]s&mdash;most other magical [[trap]]s will be converted to [[ice trap]]s. Monsters with [[cold resistance]] are not affected, while the hero takes no damage if they have cold resistance from [[Partial intrinsic|the complete intrinsic]] or an extrinsic source. Monsters that have [[fire resistance]] but ''not'' cold resistance take +3d3 damage. [[Potion]]s in their inventory of monsters hit by the scroll have a {{frac|3}} chance per item of freezing and shattering.

 Reading a scroll of ice while [[confused]] will instead create 1d3 monsters nearby, with [[ice elemental]]s created if the scroll was cursed and [[freezing sphere]]s otherwise.
