Inscribed in a steady hand and imbued with the power of reagents, a scroll can mean the difference between life and death in a perilous situation. Those knowledgeable in Inscription may transcribe spells to create useful magical scrolls.

In order to copy a spell to Scroll form, you need to be carrying a spellbook which already contains that spell. A scribe with high Magery skill can create Spellbooks with extra Item Properties - Skills bonuses, Slayer effects, and Lower Reagent Cost among others. Inscription Recipes, however, are required to Craft some such items.

The direct use of Inscription on a standard Book can be used to quickly create an exact copy. Their contents can then be locked with the use of Red Leaves; this process is handy for creating "advertising leaflets" for player run events and auctions.

A GM Scribe gains a +10% Spell Damage Increase to any Magery spells cast.

Caster's inscription skill also affects following spells:

Protection: Allows you to cast spells without being interrupted.

 Lowers physical resistance 15% - (Inscription/20). At GM inscription, Physical lowers 10%. 
 
 Lowers resist magic skill  35% - (Inscription/20). At GM Inscription, Resist lowers 30%

 Increases spell casting delay. ( Inscription has no effect here )

Reactive Armor: Increases Physical Resistance ( +15% + Inscription/20 ) , decreases elemental resistances (-5% each).

 With 0 Inscription (+15 , -5 , -5 , -5 ,-5)

 At GM Inscription  (+20 , -5 ,-5 , -5 , -5) 

Magic Reflect: Decreases Physical Resistance ( -25% + Inscription/20 ), increases elemetal resistances ( +10% each).

 With 0 Inscription (-25 , +10 , +10 , +10 , +10)

 At GM Inscription  (-20 , +10 , +10 , +10 , +10)

• Note that the Jack of all trades for humans works as if they had 20 Inscription skill points.
