• Game inscriptions

Some inscriptions are added by the game itself. These can overwrite your inscriptions. There are also "pseudo" ("fake") and "special" inscriptions, which "look" like real inscriptions to the player.

Pseudo inscriptions

These "fake" inscriptions are "covered up" by real inscriptions, but will reappear if the real inscription is removed.

"fake" inscriptions are unaffected by the uninscribe command (}).

• {cursed} - cursed item

• {empty} - item out of charges

• {tried} - a "flavored" item which the character has used, but whose effects are unknown.

• {N% off} - item bought on sale

• {quest} - this item is a quest item. It may need to be taken to someone.

Auto-inscriptions

These added when your character gets a "feeling" about an item. In ToME these are "special" inscriptions, like "fake" inscriptions above, which don't overwrite user inscriptions. They just hide user inscriptions, which are still there.

• {terrible} - cursed or broken artifact
• {broken} - broken item
• {worthless} - cursed ego item
• {cursed} - cursed item
• {average} - average
• {good} - good (magical) item
• {excellent} - ego item
• {special} - unique item
• {n% off} - indicates discount from store, (and percentage worth of true value).
