Piling these one square from and in line with the door, I stood outside the shop and zapped a Wand of Cancellation. "Darcyj you are a thief!" was the shopkeeper's booming response, and when I went back inside I was attacked. Fortunately I was able to withstand the attack and then pay the shopkeeper to mollify them, and lo and behold there was a stack of blank scrolls at 60zm each. Presumably the same technique of cheapening would work with unwanted expensive potions which, cancelled to water, would be 5zm each. If you can pull it off, it saves much dipping in fountains.	+	: Some unwanted scrolls, such as Amnesia or Punishment, are more expensive than Blank Paper.

 The "if the shopkeeper is adjacent, they will grab your pack" thing is incorrect, i was three squares away and they "Leaped" and grabbed my pack. Somebody should test whether theres any distance that will allow this tactic, or whether its a whole-shop coverage area.

		+	Stealing is only half as fun if your pick-axe becomes irretreavable. Apart from containers, jumping, reverse pet stealing, or the methods for entering/leaving while invisible, I'm not aware of a way to take it along into the shop. -[[User:Tjr\|Tjr]] 15:30, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
