If we start adding all the exceptions, like scrolls/books of fire, we will probably duplicate a lot of existing articles, and the article will become as unreadable as [[altar]] is now. Does anybody have a good idea? [[User:Tjr|Tjr]] 15:43, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

: What exceptions? I think the "reflection deflects rays" says enough in this section. It's hard for me to say how to improve this section because I'm actually unclear on this game mechanic so please answer the following question: "When a naked character with no relevant intrinsics that is holding 10 non-stacked scrolls is hit by fire, will each and every scroll burn with 100% probability?" If so, this should be made just a tiny bit clearer in the article. If not, what are the probabilities? Maybe I'm just a dense newb but what are the exceptions?

Same questions as "Cold" page. Does everything always burn (I don't think so)? If equations are unknown anything might be helpful: if I trigger fire trap with 10 scrolls would I lose about 8 or about 2? Does container protect my stuff? Does fire resistance protect stuff (I don't think so)? Does reflection? DemonDoll 18:00, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

I think how many scrolls you lose also depends on your luck.
