Usually, on level 10, if I don’t have a magic spell holder, I just drop all my spells before opening the door to Tengu. At the end of the battle, my spells are there (along with Tengu’s mask) for me to pick up.
This time, I forgot to drop the spells before the first phase of the fight. Fearing getting caught in one of Tengu’s firewalls and losing some spells, I dropped them on the hallway before opening the door to the second phase. However, only the upgrade scrolls were there after the fight! I lost several spells, including a couple of remove curse and identify.
Is this intended, or is it a bug?
It’s hard to say without seeing the run, but it’s possible if you dropped the scrolls right before the next phase transition, that the scrolls were carried over into the next phase. That would mean they would be at great risk of burning from Tengu’s attack, which would explain why only upgrade was left.
Thanks for your reply! I understand it’s difficult to say what might have happened without more information. I did drop the scrolls right before I openend the door to the second phase (I was still in the hallway).
