-A Scroll of Alacrity is used by double-clicking whereupon a dialog box will appear prompting the character for confirmation.

-Scrolls of Alacrity were a reward as part of the [[Spring Cleaning 2008]] turn-in system.
+A Scroll of Alacrity is used by double-clicking whereupon a dialog box will appear prompting the character for confirmation.

The effect only lasts 15 minutes and expires even if the character logs out, dies or loses connection.
-==Using==
+After 15 minutes, the effect wears off and a message is displayed:
-Double click the scroll, click the confirmation gump.  You then gain skills at an enhanced rate for 15 minutes.
+:''The intense energy dissipates. You are no longer under the effects of an accelerated skillgain scroll.''
-If you would normally gain .1, you will gain .2 to .5.
+If no gains are made in the 15 minutes then the scroll has been utterly wasted.
-However, if you happen to not get any gains during the 15 minutes, you have wasted your Scroll.
+Despite the accelerated skillgain, [[Skill Cap]]s still apply so it's important to have used a [[Power Scroll]] in the skill if hoping to gain past 100.0 in that skill while under the effects of a Scroll of Alacrity.
-As of [[Publish 58]], being under the effects of a Scroll of Alacrity prevents the use of a [[Scroll of Transcendence]].
