Scribing Spells Mages and Clerics alike often find themselves with a great lack of spell power when they enter combat, quickly using up their spells. Scribing spells is an ages old way of saving up magical energy for later use. Scribing a spell uses the same amount of magic as it normally costs to cast the spell in the same fashion. You must be able to cast the spell to scribe it, but do not have to be high enough to read the scroll and hence cast the spell written thereon. In this way, high level spell casters can scribe spells for their apprentices and followers, and as long as they are of the same profession as their master they are able to use the scroll. To scribe a spell takes approximately 30 seconds in real time for every 4 levels of the spell scribed, and only one scroll may be scribed at any one time.
