The 識 seal reveals disguised and invisible monsters when you attack them (weapon)
or take damage from their attacks (shield).

Great for wiping out monster houses early on, but you might burn allies and items as well.
Some enemies are immune to fire damage, such as Tiny Phoenix.

Locations:

Retreat Scroll

Escape from a dungeon with your Gitan and currently equipped items.
Cannot escape if you're being chased by guard dogs and sheriffs.
The 帰 seal lets you keep the weapon or shield it's synthesized onto if you collapse.
It can't prevent equipment loss by other means, such as Kengo monsters flinging it away.
Always found identified.

Locations:

Squid Sushi Scroll

Restores 20% fullness when eaten.
Cannot be eaten if it's unidentified or if your mouth is sealed shut.
Eating it also registers it in the Blank Scroll list.

Purify Scroll

Removes curses from currently equipped items.
Also removes curses from Asuka's equipment if she is standing next to you.
The 祓 seal prevents your weapon from getting cursed (weapon),
or prevents all items in your inventory from getting cursed (shield).
For some reason, the 祓 seal doesn't transfer when synthesized onto different equipment.
If synthesized onto equipment with the 呪 seal, the 呪 seal is erased but it doesn't gain the 祓 seal.

Locations:

Freeze Scroll

Freezes all water on the floor, trapping underwater monsters in ice.
Underwater items float to the surface, so it can be used to recover items that fell in water.

Locations:

Shadow Scroll

Summons up to 4 shadows that distract enemies for 10 turns.
The shadows won't attack enemies, but they will draw the attention of almost any attack,
including Archdragon's floor-wide fire breath.
Keep in mind that you can get hit by ranged attacks that pass through the shadows,
such as Ironhead's direct attacks or Pop Tank's cannonballs.

Locations:

Trap Remove Scroll

Removes all traps in the room.
Useful for monster houses, but not really worth taking up a spot in your inventory.
Can be used after a Great Hall Scroll to guarantee a safe path to the stairs.

Locations:

Fear Scroll

Inflicts fear to all monsters within a 1 tile radius of Shiren for 10 turns.

or receive damage from a monster's direct attack (shield).
Sleep induced by the seal won't grant a speed increase after the monster wakes up.

Stacked Effect:

Locations:

Evaporate Scroll

Evaporates all water on the current floor. Ice will not evaporate.
Water-only monsters will be unable to move, and some won't even be able to attack.
Nice to have for recovering items that fall into water.
Useful for capturing underwater monsters such as Shotfish.

Locations:

Explosion Scroll

Deals damage in a similar fashion to Landmines.
Place it on the ground and perform a direct attack to make it explode.
This is considered as an attack by Shiren, so if you blow up shop items or NPCs such as Traders,
you'll be chased by Guard Dogs and Sherrifs.

Locations:

Great Hall Scroll

Transforms the current floor into one giant room when read.
Water, ice, and unbreakable walls all vanish.
Best way to search for Golden Intervals, and also makes it easier to steal from shops.
Some care must be taken when reading it, or else you might find yourself waking up a monster house,
or being under the effect of floor-wide statue effects.

Locations:

Sturdy Pot Scroll

Makes the selected pot unbreakable for the duration of the current adventure.
Good for storage, water, and monster pots, but can be bad if used on sticky or synthesis pots.
You'll get a game over if a Bored Kappa monster throws an unbreakable sticky pot at you,
even if you have Revival Grass on hand.

Locations:

Pot Expand Scroll

Expands the selected pot, increasing its size by 1.
No effect if it's read on a pot that is already at the max size of 8.

Locations:

Suction Scroll

Suctions out all contents from a selected pot, including items, monsters,
and even pent-up anger from inside a Surprise Pot.
Great for reusing expanded Presto or Upgrade pots.

Locations:

Plating Scroll

Makes a weapon or shield rustproof with a red 金 seal. Cannot remove curses.
Can also repair bracelets, or transform iron arrows into silver arrows.
Monsoon Dolls will tear off a red 金 seal before any other seal, so this scroll effectively
protects your synthesized seals against a single use of Monsoon Doll's special attack.

Locations:

Restock Scroll

Restocks a shop to a max of 9 items for sale.
Specialty shops will only restock items within the same category.
For small shops, you may need to expand the shop's size by breaking its walls to get all 9 items.
N'dubbas can be included in the restocked merchandise.

Locations:

Blank Scroll

Select the name of any scroll you've read before, and this scroll will act as that scroll.
You can revert the scroll back to a blank state by splashing water on it.
When used as a secondary item in synthesis with a Mixer monster,
the equipment's slot count will increase by 1, up to a max of 16 slots.

Locations:

Sanctuary Scroll

Place it on the ground to create a safe zone where monsters adjacent to the scroll
can't attack anyone standing on the scroll. Monsters also cannot walk on top of the scroll.
You can still get hit by ranged attacks while standing on the scroll.
No effect if read instead of being placed on the ground.

Locations:

Sanctaruy Scroll

Resembles a Sanctuary Scroll.
Makes stairs and all items on the current floor hop around when placed on the ground.
Shop items won't jump around, but disguised N'dubbas will.
You can deactivate the effect by splashing water on or burning the scroll,
using items such as Water Pot, Fire Staff, or Blaze Scroll.

Locations:

Extinction Scroll

Throw at a monster to make all instances of it vanish from the current adventure.
Other ranks in the monster's family will still appear.
Example: Banish Pit Mamel → Mamel and Cave Mamel still appear.
Note that only 1 monster can be banished at a time, so if a second scroll is thrown at a monster,
the first monster will start appearing again.
