Description
- The Scribe crafts spell scrolls, spellbooks, codices, tomes, and other useful items. Inscription requires the use of a scribe’s pen and a variety of materials such as blank scrolls, arcane scrolls, boards, and leather. Inscription complements the Magery skill by improving spell damage and buff durations while reducing dependency on reagents.
Summary

- Players creating circle 1 to 6 spell scrolls must have the spell in their own spellbook in order to craft it and enough Magery to cast the spells
- Circle 7 to 8 spell scrolls you are not required to own to craft, but do require Arcane Scrolls which are items found as loot in game
- Spell scroll consumption can be reduced with both Inscription skill and the Wizard's Satchel

Automatic Spell Scroll Usage
- If Automatic Spell Scroll Usage is toggled, whenever a player casts a spell, it will first check their backpack to see if a matching spell scroll. If a matching scroll is found it will attempt to consume that scroll instead of reagents, whether or not the scroll is consumed is determined by the player's effective Inscription skill and the Wizard's Satchel if the scroll is found inside one.
- Players can toggle this mechanic by typing "[AutoUseSpellScrolls", "[Commands", or from "Help -> Commands -> Mechanics -> AutoUseSpellScrolls"
