The Arcane stylus is a magical item that inscribes a random glyph on any armor.

Description[]

Arcane Stylus
Arcane stylus
This arcane stylus is made of some dark, very hard stone. Using it you can inscribe a magical glyph on your armor, but you have no power over choosing what glyph it will be, the stylus will decide it for you.


Use[]

When used, the stylus will add a random glyph to the Hero’s armor. Using the stylus on an already-inscribed armor will randomly change the glyph.

Obtaining[]

NO LONGER OBTAINABLE (Replaced by Scroll of Enchantment as of Update 1.7.5)

It can be found randomly in the dungeon. Each depth (except boss rooms and the depth 21 Shop) has a depth/(12*(N+1)) (where N is the amount of arcane styli generated) chance to spawn a stylus. Thus, there can be anywhere between 2 to 19 arcane styli per game.

Tips[]

  • Be mindful when using Scroll of Upgrades on an inscribed armor; this is similar with weapon enchantments as too many upgrades might erase the glyph!
