This thread deserves a resurrection as I still feel Vorpalize Weapon is a gyp.
There are four scrolls
Enchant Weapon 1 - enchants non-artefact accuracy up to +9; chance diminishes after +3
Enchant Weapon 2 - enchants non-artefact damage up to +9; chance diminishes after +3
Enchant Weapon 3 - randomly acts as 1-2 scrolls of EW1 and 1-2 scrolls of EW2.
Odds of success for enchant weapon scroll: <+4: 100%; +4: 56%; +5: 44%; +6: 33%; +7: 22%; +8: 11% .
Vorpalize Weapon - makes permanent a temporary brand of cold, fire, drain or venom ego, or applies vorpal ego.
Vorpalize weapon will not work with the following egos:
holy_wrath, electrocution, pain, distortion, vampiric, orc_slaying, dragon_slaying, speed, antimagic, chaos
current comments
1 - I don't agree with combining the Enchant Weapon / Armor scrolls.
2 - Scrolls of EW are rare enough and artefacts are abundant enough that I believe the odds for an EW scroll to succeed should increase by some factor (maybe odds + (odds / 2)) with each EW scroll spent. Odds reset on the next successful EW scroll used for that value. If this is used, consider that overall base chances of success can be lowered.
Example: if going to +4, I have a 56% chance. If the EW scroll fails, the next attempt has a (56 + 28) 84% chance. If successful, going to +5 starts as normal at 44%.
