Shiren 1 DS:Sanctuary Scroll
General Information
Sanctuary Scroll (Japanese: 聖域の巻物 (SFC) and せいいきの巻物 (NDS)) is a scroll introduced in Shiren 1 for the Super Famicom1. Dropping a Scroll of Sanctuary will make the space with the scroll on it into a permanent "sanctuary" spot. If Shiren is standing on the scroll space, monsters won't attack Shiren in melee. However, monsters will still use ranged attacks against Shiren.
Once dropped, the Scroll of Sanctuary can't be picked back up.
Unlocking the Sanctuary Scroll
Sanctuary Scrolls do not appear in the dungeons as drops. The only way to get one is via a Blank Scroll: writing the word "Sanctuary" on a Blank Scroll will create a Sanctuary Scroll. However, there's a catch-22 here: you cannot write onto a Blank Scroll the name of a scroll you have not read before... and if you can never find a Sanctuary Scroll, you can never read it to be able to write it onto a Blank Scroll. The game dodges this problem by giving you the opportunity to "unlock" the ability to inscribe it onto a Blank Scroll.
