:: This is interesting - it brings up another question I had: If one has encountered a type of scroll and used it, without it being formally identified, does one then have a 100 percent chance of writing it? For example, if I use a scroll of remove curse it doesn't auto-identify. Will I still suffer a writing penalty? This could actually make writing a scroll by it's un-id'd name advantageous, assuming the un-id'd penalty still exists - if you know FOOBIE BLETCH is remove curse, then you could attempt at a no failure rate.

Elbereth
shouldn't there be a note here about the ability of the magic marker to inscribe elbereth?
- There is, in the introduction. Maybe it shouldn't be in the introduction, but I'm not sure where to move it. It hardly seems worth its own section, EkiM 11:45, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
FOOBIE BLETCH?
Does one write the name of the spell or the name of the scroll with the magic marker? I.e., 'identify' versus 'FOOBIE BLETCH' in any given game. 71.255.29.120 20:46, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
- Either works, but you must have seen one of the 'FOOBIE BLETCH' type before writing it, whereas you may attempt to write an 'identify' with some chance of success, even if you have not seen/id'd it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.88.232.180 (talk • contribs) 25 July 2007

Best time to charge?
Is there a general idea on what the best time to recharge a Magic Marker is? It seems like if someone were to take a risk in the 30 range, the potential for a larger rounding bonus would improve. Additionally, if one aims for zero, there is always the pain of having <7 charges, which can risk being completely wasted, and also leaves fewer writing options.
