The scroll of punishment is one of the nastiest scrolls in the game. It creates a heavy iron ball and an iron chain that are attached to you and hinder your movements.

It is expensive, so when unidentified, less careful players might mistake it for the scroll of genocide or the scroll of stinking cloud. When blessed, this scroll is harmless; you only get the message "You feel guilty". This happens also when you read this scroll while confused. Also, if you are polymorphed into an amorphous, whirly or non-solid monster when reading this scroll, the ball and chain will appear but fall off immediately.

If you are already being punished when reading this scroll, the weight of the iron ball increases.

See punishment for more information, including how to become unchained to the iron ball.
