Cartomancers can use monster cards (i.e. scrolls of create monster) by throwing them as well as reading them. If thrown, the monster is created on or adjacent to the space where the scroll hits the ground.

Reading create monster while confused has a small chance of creating a trapped large box, which when triggered will say “The box bursts open!” and create monsters like the scroll of the same beatitude would.

A blessed scroll of create monster will create monsters out of line-of-sight to make it safer for the player.

Add a message for when create monster/create familiar/summon nasties fails to summon anything (may happen in extinctionist games).

Flip the blessed and cursed effects of the scroll of create monster, with the argument that if beatitude influences an object’s effects at all, blessing should amplify them and cursing should reduce them.

However, consistency along these lines conflicts somewhat with the current behavior of objects, which is that blessing generally always gives the player a better effect and cursing gives them a worse one. The create monster scroll is in a weird place because both its blessed and cursed effects could be considered beneficial in different contexts.

The scroll of create monster now summons only 1 monster (occasionally 2 or 3). The beatitude determines whether they will turn out allied with the reader (blessed), created normally with the usual probabilities of being peaceful (uncursed), or whether they will be hostile to the reader or omnicidal (cursed).

The scroll of create monster, when blessed, says “This is a scroll of create monster.” and allows you to choose between 0 and 8 monsters to create.
