Scroll Scribing

Crafting Scrolls
A character that has the Grand Master level of a skill, sometimes level five and sometimes level three depending on the skill, has the knowledge and ability to create magical scrolls. The character may craft scrolls as he/she would create other items, using the appropriate components and fifteen minutes worth of time. Grand Masters may create scrolls for any common recipies, rituals or schematics he/she has memorized. For details on the general crafting process, please see the Crafting page.

To harness the magical knowledge captured in scrolls, a special ink must be prepared and used. Ink Berries are able to capture and hold the knowledge while Mica Ore is used to help the reader permanently and perfectly absorb the information. The more difficult a ritual, schematic or recipe is to learn, the more magic must be transferred in the ink so higher level scrolls and different kinds of scrolls require different numbers of components.

The following list identifies the components necessary for each type of scroll of each varying level:

Recipe

 * Level 1 Recipe: 1 Mica Ore
 * Level 2 Recipe: 1 Mica Ore, 2 Ink Berries
 * Level 3 Recipe: 2 Mica Ore, 2 Ink Berries
 * Level 4 Recipe: 2 Mica Ore, 4 Ink Berries

Schematic

 * Level 1 Schematic: 1 Mica Ore, 2 Ink Berries
 * Level 2 Schematic: 2 Mica Ore, 2 Ink Berries
 * Level 3 Schematic: 2 Mica Ore, 4 Ink Berries
 * Level 4 Schematic: 3 Mica Ore, 4 Ink Berries

Ritual

 * Level 1 Ritual: 2 Mica Ore, 2 Ink Berries
 * Level 2 Ritual: 2 Mica Ore, 4 Ink Berries
 * Level 3 Ritual: 3 Mica Ore, 4 Ink Berries
 * Level 4 Ritual: 3 Mica Ore, 6 Ink Berries

Only common magical recipes, schematics and rituals can be captured and taught using magical scrolls.

Using Scrolls
Initially scroll cards represent an in play item. These scrolls can be stolen or used. To use a scroll, a character must have the appropriate skill type and level as listed on the scroll card. The character must perform five minutes of undisturbed meditation doing nothing but reading the scroll. If this time is interrupted, the character must begin again. Once the meditation has been completed, the scroll crumbles into dust but the information is permanently imprinted in the character's memory.

The player should then go find a plot member and have them sign the scroll card signifying that the scroll has been used and that the character can now perform the given ritual, recipe or schematic. The scroll card then becomes an out of play tag instead of an in play item. It cannot be stolen or destroyed but the player should keep it because it must be presented to plot when he/she wishes to perform the given ritual, recipe or schematic.
