The scroll of flood, from UnNetHack floods a circle around you with a decent radius. More specifically, reading a scroll of flood which is:

  • uncursed 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.
  • blessed has the same effect, except you're safe from it.
  • cursed restricts the flood to the square you're standing on. This could be useful when levitating over a tile of lava with something valuable sunk into it.

It has the opposite effect when you're confused; it removes a circle of water from around your character. The radius depends on its cursed or blessed status in this case.

Sometimes, a scroll of flood will be generated on top of a gravestone that reads "Apres moi, le deluge." (French for "After me, the flood.")
