After you struggle free of a bear trap, it becomes disarmed.

When you fail to write a scroll because you ran out of ink, it will become a “garbled scroll” instead of disappearing. Garbled scrolls can’t be read (or possibly they could be read, for a number of generally negative weak magical effects), but they can be re-blanked so the scroll can be written again. This could also happen when you fail to write a scroll by not knowing it. There is a slim chance, probably less than 10%, that you end up writing some random scroll instead of a garbled scroll.

The spell of identify is an unlimited replacement from the scroll that makes them rather useless, so nerf the spell so that it only type-identifies items (beatitude, enchantment, and charges will not be considered). If you want to learn these things, you must use scrolls of identify.

  • Alternatively, blessed scrolls of identify could be buffed, for example they always give a full identification of everything in inventory, or they identify several additional object classes that are not yet in your discoveries list.
  • Also, the identify spell could scale with skill, so that it identifies beatitude at Skilled and enchantment/charges at Expert.

A priest-friendly artifact that is a potion or tool that acts as a “holy water well” - maybe it slowly but infinitely fills up with holy water, up until it is full.

Lawful and neutral gods are angered (or do something angry) if you consort with a foocubus on their altars or in their temples.
