 ==Description==
-When [[read]], rather than normal [[magic mapping]], The Marauder's Map details the hero's immediate surroundings as if they had cast the {{+ of|clairvoyance}} spell: this magically maps a roughly-circular 19-by-11 area centered on the hero's location, with the location of monsters in the mapped area marked by an {{white|I}} glyph, while any items detected within the area are described by their object types (e.g., "a scroll", "a wand"). The scroll will not be used up when read, and reading The Marauder's Map starts a cooldown timer of 3d10 turns: attempting to read it again during this period will print a message, immobilize the hero for up to 3 turns and add another 3d10 turns to the cooldown timer. The mapping done by reading The Marauder's Map is not blocked by a [[worn]] [[cornuthaum]] like actual clairvoyance, but unlike clairvoyance (and like other sources of magic mapping) it is blocked on [[non-mappable level]]s.

 In the original patch, the intent of the weaker read effect for The Marauder's Map and the associated cooldown timer is to compensate for the scroll being 'infinite-use', while the artifact detection is partial compensation for the Pirate's inability to receive sacrifice gifts other than the Map: this limits them to random generation and [[wish]]es for discovering artifacts, and invoking The Marauder's Map gives them a way to check a level for generated artifacts that they may have missed. The ability to detect objects and artifacts by invoking the artifact also makes it usable for [[illiterate]] [[conduct]] play.
-The above details apply for SpliceHack as well, and the generation rate of artifacts is additionally boosted up to {{frac|5}} (20%) for Pirate heroes only, making regular use of The Marauder's Map more important for treasure-gathering.

 The Marauder's Map is a magical item from ''Harry Potter'', a franchise originating from a series of seven fantasy novels written by British author Joanne Rowling (who is sometimes known by "Joanne Murray" and the pen name "J. K. Rowling"). The novels chronicle the lives of the titular young wizard as he attends Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and learns of his connection to Lord Voldemort, a dark wizard who intends to become immortal and subjugate the wizarding world and "mundane" world alike.
-Within the setting, the Marauder's Map is a magical map of Hogwarts created by a group of wizards while they were still students at the school, and Harry is given the map in the third book so he can travel to Hogsmeade through a hidden passageway. The map is a blank piece of parchment when not in use, but it becomes a detailed layout of Hogwarts when it is activated using the phrase "I solemnly swear that I am up to no good". It shows the locations of secret passages and instructions on how to access them, and it also reveals the presence and identity of every individual at Hogwarts by not only marking their exact location alongside their names, but also tracking their movements in real-time.

-The '''Marauder's Map''' is the first [[sacrifice gift]] for the [[Pirate]] role, incorporated into [[dNetHack]], [[SlashTHEM]] and [[SpliceHack]]. It is also the only [[artifact]] that Pirates can receive as a sacrifice gift.
+==Generation==
-The map is unusual among artifacts in that its base item is a [[scroll of magic mapping]], which is normally single-use. Reading this scroll does not destroy it. To compensate, however, reading the map only reveals the surroundings of the user (as by [[clairvoyance]]), instead of complete [[scroll of magic mapping|magic mapping]].
+The Marauder's Map is the guaranteed first [[sacrifice gift]] for Pirates in the patch by Chris, as well as [[Pirate/SpliceHack|in SpliceHack]] [[Pirate/SlashTHEM|and SlashTHEM]], and any chaotic [[hero]] can also receive the artifact as a gift. Uniquely to Pirates, it is the only artifact that they can be gifted by means of sacrificing.
-When [[invoked]], the Map first [[potion of object detection|detects all objects]] on the level, then detects [[artifact]]s.  The second check partially compensates for Pirates' inability to receive sacrifice gifts other than the Map.  Because their deity won't give them additional artifacts, Pirates can only wish for artifacts or find them while exploring.  The Map's invocation effect provides a way to check a level for generated artifacts the Pirate may have missed.
+==Description==
-The Marauder's Map is [[chaotic]] for [[bones]] and [[wish]]ing purposes.
+[[Invoking]] The Marauder's Map first grants [[object detection]] as with [[Potion of object detection|a potion]] of the same [[beatitude]], and then detects the presence of any other artifacts on the level among those objects.
-==Mythology==
+As an artifact, The Marauder's Map cannot be subjected to [[blanking]] or destruction by [[Fire (element)|fire]].
