The scroll of consecration is a scroll in NetHack: The Next Generation which also appears in dNetHack, Fourk and SlashTHEM.
When read, the scroll attempts to create an altar at your location. How much control you get over its alignment depends on the scroll's BUC status:
Case | Effect |
---|---|
blessed | The scroll asks you to select the alignment of the altar to create. This includes the option to create an unaligned altar dedicated to Moloch. |
uncursed | The scroll creates a co-aligned altar - if you are polymorphed into a major demon and read the scroll, the altar will always be chaotic. |
cursed | The scroll creates an unaligned altar to Moloch. |
Depending on the alignment of the altar created, you may be rewarded or penalized:
Alignment | Effect |
---|---|
co-aligned | +1 bonus to alignment record, prayer timeout reduced by 1-100 turns |
cross-aligned | -1 penalty to alignment record, prayer timeout increased by 1-100 turns |
unaligned | -3 penalty to alignment record, prayer timeout increased by 1-300 turns |

Restrictions
Altars cannot be built in corridors (where furniture will never be found naturally) or on the Astral Plane. The latter would theoretically permit you to win the endgame without reaching one of the high altars, so appropriately this sort of behavior will incur an alignment penalty.

dNetHack
The behavior is different in dNetHack - a cursed scroll doesn't produce any altar, and a confused reading randomizes the alignment.
Fourk
You will find one free copy of this scroll in the magic chest. Reading the scroll while confused will generate another magic chest, which is linked to the other magic chests as usual.
