Wasting enchant scrolls when equipment is melded


Although the central place for design discussion is ##crawl-dev on freenode, some may find it helpful to discuss requests and suggestions here first.

Wasting enchant scrolls when equipment is melded

I just read-id an Enchant Weapon III scroll while under Xom-induced dragon form and it turns out it gets wasted even though I had a weapon equipped (which was melded due to dragon form). Is this behaviour intended?

Probably. I play transmuters a bunch, and I'm pretty sure you've never been able to enchant things that are melded into your body.

That sounds like how it's always been, but that's not the same as "intended". Given the recent change that lets you pick a weapon when you read ?EW, it certainly doesn't sound like the result of an explicit design decision to me, though I can't speak for the devs. Given that enchant weapon lets you pick a weapon now, I think it's worth changing.
