When casting a spell you don't have memorized, and aren't carrying a scroll for, the game makes a difference between if you've seen the scroll or not. See PRE-QUICK-CAST:
(<OR <FSET? .SPELL ,TOUCHBIT>
<IN? .SCROLL ,HERE>>
<TELL
"You don't have the " D .SPELL " memorized, nor do you have the scroll
on which it is written." CR>
<RTRUE>)
(T
<TELL
"The " D .SPELL " is not committed to memory, and you haven't seen any scroll
on which it is written." CR>
<RTRUE>)>)>
But there are some scrolls that you get without picking them up. The ones I can think of are:
The REZROV spell. See HOVEL-KLUDGE
The CLEESH spell. See LILY-PAD-F
The GONDAR spell. See RAT-HOLE-F
The IZYUK spell. See STAIR-DISPEL
So you can get cases like this:
>LOOK UNDER LILY PAD
There is a damp scroll there, which you take into your hand.
The sounds of frogs and other swamp dwellers fill the air.
>EXAMINE DAMP SCROLL
The scroll reads "cleesh spell: change a creature into a small amphibian".
The sounds of frogs and other swamp dwellers fill the air.
>DROP DAMP SCROLL
Dropped.
The sounds of frogs and other swamp dwellers fill the air.
>WEST
Forest
You are in a dark forest, just north of a rusted gate. Except to the east and
south, the forest is thick all around you.
>CLEESH ME
The cleesh spell is not committed to memory, and you haven't seen any scroll on
which it is written.
But I have seen it!
By the way, all these cases should probably call THIS-IS-IT to set the scroll as "it". But this isn't done for the REZROV and CLEESH scrolls.
