==Identification==

The scroll of mass murder is a very rare item; while read-identifying random scrolls is probably a [[bad idea]], this scroll unambiguously identifies itself upon reading, as no other scroll gives the same prompt. If you don't know if the scroll is cursed, you may want to choose a monster that you can easily kill so if it's cursed and you're surrounded by the specified type of monster, you actually have a chance to survive. On the other hand, in an emergency situation you'll want to choose the monster that's causing you trouble, hoping that the scroll isn't cursed.

This scroll cannot be read by monsters.
