Scrolls are a very useful ability in Death Blade. They contain powerful magic capable of damaging multiple opponents at a time. Some scrolls are ineffective against certain types of creatures, while other will cause them great damage. As a general rule, creatures of greater power are less like to be affected by some scrolls.
Magic resistance can hamper the use of scrolls. The more powerful creatures in the Death Blade, possess magic resistance. This is represented as a percentage change that the creature can resist of cancel the effects of a spell (for them only). If this occurs on a single target spell, you will be notified by a message on the screen. If it occurs in a group spell, you will not be notified, but should be able to figure it out soon enough.
You may posses only eight scrolls at one time. If you already possess eight scrolls when a treasure pile contains an scroll, you will not be awarded that scroll. It is best to always leave one empty slot for another scroll.

At this point, it detonates into a large blast of fire, causing a great deal of damage to those within one cell (10') of the blast.
