Forum:Write a spellbook with a marker

< Forum:Watercooler

Hi all,

I am trying to create a spellbook of remove curse with a magic marker, but it did not work. Is it possible to create a spellbook that I never find earlier in the game ? Shall I retry ?

Thanks,

Christophe

You have to have previously seen/read/identified (I'm fairly certain) a spellbook to write one of the same kind, if that's what you're asking. Aeronflux 03:40, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

So for a beginner, what is the use of a magic marker ? I mean, I know that I will die before loosing my spellbook, so I will not need a magic marker to rewrite a spellbook that I allready have... If I have read a scrool of remove curse, is it the same ?

Only wizards with good luck have a chance of writing an unknown spellbook, but that chance is low enough that I don't usually use my magic markers that way.

Here's how I use magic markers: Save all the blank scrolls you find. Figure out if they are blessed or cursed. When you finally find good armor that you want to ascend with, write a blessed scroll of charging if you can, then write all the enchant armors you can. You can recharge the magic marker once. Then enchant your good armor up to +4 or +5.

In long games I will also use a magic marker to write known spellbooks that have faded, like Identify. Sometimes I'll write a scroll of genocide, but magic marker charges are too valuable for much else. That means magic markers are not really for the beginning game, IMO.

An uncursed scroll of remove curse is like casting remove curse. Sacrificing an praying at altars can remove curse, too.

For a Wizard with at least 6 Luck, the chance of successfully writing an unknown scroll/spellbook is about 97–98%. That's a pretty good chance if you ask me, especially if you're writing something cheap. -- Killian 04:57, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
