The scroll of flood is an item added in UnNetHack, and also in xNetHack as the scroll of water.

Generation

In addition to random generation, a scroll of flood will be generated on top of a gravestone that reads "Apres moi, le deluge"; the phrase is French for "After me, the flood".

Effects

Reading a scroll of flood causes a flood which creates pools of water around you.[1]

If the scroll is uncursed, it creates water around you in a similar fashion to an overflowing fountain, but with a higher probability per square, and a chance of including your own square. If the scroll is blessed, it will not create a pool underneath you. A cursed scroll restricts the flood to the square you're standing on, which could be useful when levitating over a tile of lava with something valuable sunk into it.

If read while confused, the scroll instead removes a circle of water from around you, with the radius dependent on its BUC status.

In xNetHack, the scroll of water will never create a pool of water under the player. It also cannot be made into a scroll of blank paper via #dipping.
