?

Weight	5
Ink to write	4-7
Monster use	Will not be used by monsters.

The scroll of fire causes an explosion of fire, damaging you and any monsters around you: 3-5 HP if the scroll was blessed, 2-3HP if uncursed, 1-2 if cursed. It also boils potions, and burns scrolls and spellbooks in your inventory, and damages worn armor. You are unaffected if fire resistant (and your armor is safe if fireproof).

If you are confused and not fire resistant, you lose 1HP.

Identification

The scroll self-identifies when read.

Messages

Reading the scroll gives the following messages:

"The scroll erupts in a tower of flame!" 

Standard effect

"The water around you vaporizes violently!" 

You were underwater

"Oh, look, what a pretty fire in your <hands>." 

You were confused, fire-resistant and unblind

"You feel a pleasant warmth in your <hands>."

You were confused, fire-resistant and blind

"The scroll catches fire and you burn your <hands>." 

You were confused and not fire-resistant

Strategy

The explosion of fire burns away any slime covering you. This scroll is otherwise useless, and a prime candidate for blanking.
