#8 Scrolls take too long too read
I find that scrolls of teleportation are rather useless
because whenever I really need to use one it takes too long
and I end up dead. I also have this problem when drinking
healing liquid or trolls blood, in my opinion this makes
these items just about useless in an emergency situation.

Ok, we'll check if the reading/drinking times are too long. The
time required to read a scroll is inversely proportional to
intelligence, so for a very experienced character this should
not be a problem. (I have to admit reaching high int score is
quite difficult in 0.50, though) In the meantime, spare wands
of teleport for emergiencies and use scrolls in less dangerous
or non-combat situations (for instance, getting in and out of
the meteoric steel vault in gloomy cave). The problem with
potions is real, when I thought about it I noticed I haven't
really used them myself lately at all for HP healing, only for
regaining lost limbs. This is mainly because healing naturally
trains endurance but drinking does not. We'll modify this
somehow in the next rel.
