Scrolls are represented by ? and have a weight of 5. Each one has a different effect when you read it, some effects desirable, some highly not.

You may want to read about scrolls first.


Scrolls to Blank

Right off the bat, Scroll of amnesia should be blanked. It is probably the worst scroll (see its effect) and will not be very productive (unless you really want a lower wisdom and to forget some of the levels you've explored and the identities of some of your items).

Scroll of destroy armor should be blanked if you already have a scroll of remove curse. If you are wearing cursed armor without a scroll of remove curse, you could drop all your other armor and read the scroll (this will not work if the scroll is cursed, it will lower the enchantment of the armor instead), destroying the armor. Of course, scrolls of remove curse will uncurse all cursed items that you are wielding or wearing (or everything in your main inventory if it is blessed).
