* Regardless of failure or success when scribing an inscription attempt will always use up reagents and the blank scroll.
On a successful attempt, the mana is also consumed.

** When crafting a spellbook there is a chance it will get up to 3 magical properties.
These properties can be Faster Casting, Faster Cast Recovery, Lower Mana Cost, Lower Reagent Cost, Mana Increase, Mana Regeneration, Spell Damage Increase, Intelligence Bonus, Slayer (random) and a few mage related Skills (Magery, Eval. Int., Meditation and Resist).
All the properties can be up to 80% of the intensity range they normally spawn in.

The amount and intensity of the properties on a spellbook depends on your magery skill. At 80 Magery you can get 1 property, at 90 Magery you can get 2 properties and at 100 Magery you can get 3 properties. At 110 and 120 Magery you can still only get 3 properties, but you will have a higher chance of getting them.

Necromancy and Mysticism spellbooks can also be crafted with properties; as with magery, the character needs to have the necromancy or mysticism skill, with amount and intensity of properties dependent on skill level. Skill bonus properties will be relevant to the skill, eg necromancy, spirit speak, mysticism, focus.

Casting Spells from Scrolls

  • When casting a scroll, the game treats that scroll as if it were 2 spell Circles lower in order to determine chance of failure. (For example, if a player were to cast the 8th Circle spell Resurrection from a scroll in order to restore a fallen comrade to life, that player would have to be able to cast 6th Circle spells and would have a chance to cast that scroll equal to his success rate of casting spells of the 6th Circle.)
  • If the casting is successful, the amount of Mana normally required for spells of the same Circle of the scroll is consumed.

Copying Books

The Inscription skill can also be used to copy books. Unlike scribing scrolls, where you have to use a scribe’s pen, with copying books you have to use the Inscription skill through the skill gump. First target the “full” book and then the “empty” book you want to copy to.

  • Copying books is an excellent method for low-level scribes to get their skill up to between 40 and 50.
