Description
SpliceHack
A hero or monster reading a scroll of elementalism summons one or more elemental monsters, except for fusion elementals.[1] Reading the scroll while confused will instead summon one or more gas spores, flaming spheres, freezing spheres or shocking spheres, with an equal probability of each monster. The scroll is auto-identified if the hero can see the monsters produced by the scroll.
The amount of monsters summoned and their hostility depend on the scroll's beatitude, who reads it and whether or not they were confused:
| Beatitude | Number of monsters | Monster hostility[2] | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hero reading | Monster reading[3] | Normal | Confused | |||
| Normal | Confused | Normal | Confused | |||
| Blessed | 1 E | 3-12 e | 1 E | 1-8 e | 1⁄3 all hostile 2⁄3 all tame |
all tame |
| Uncursed | 1 E | 3-12 e | 1 E | 1-8 e | 1⁄2 all hostile 2⁄3 all peaceful |
all hostile |
| Cursed | 2-4 E | 1 e | 1-8 E | 1-8 e | all hostile | all hostile |
