Proposal: make a scroll of brand weapon have a warning

[nordetsa]

Don't know why the scroll's in-game description says nothing about its damaging effects. Shouldn't there be a notification for the players that using it can create a magical explosion of some sort? I can see this being a problem for Okawaru/Beogh followers inadvertently damaging their own allies and incurring penance in the process.

the flash, fire, frost or poison effects are mostly theatrical. let's remove all damage associated with it.

That would be greatly appreciated. I don't know why branding weapon is supposed to inflict damage in the first place-brand weapon spells doesn't burn/freeze/poison the player.

Just to play devil's advocate, having a theatrical effect makes affixing a brand to a weapon a "big deal." The new scrolls are a lot easier to use, though, so changing a weapon's brand can happen a lot more often, and naturally this is less special, so the big explosions should probably go.

Sounds reasonable.
