A felt marker is a tool that appears in GruntHack. It is made of plastic and appears as a "marker" when unidentified.
Description
The felt marker is somewhat identical to the more-familiar magic marker, and can be used to engrave - however, it cannot be used to write scrolls or spellbooks since the writing will fade from them immediately; scrolls written on with a felt marker are not used up. Additionally, a felt marker can be charged repeatedly, while a magic marker can only be charged once.
Engraving on the floor with a felt marker produces graffiti, which is semi-permanent.
Strategy
An unidentified felt marker is a source of great disappointment for players who believe they have stumbled upon a magic marker, only to watch the ink fade from a blank scroll. However, this does not preclude it from being useful: failing to write a scroll this way can be used to informally identify and type-name a felt marker without wasting the scroll, and using felt markers for engraving Elbereth can preserve wand charges for offensive use or escaping.
