View source for Inscription

"The art of making scrolls for a Mage is similar to the art of kneading for a Baker. It's an essential. Get it wrong and nothing good will come of it. I've made a study of scrollwork, although this is not likely to impress anyone but
the most devoted of scholars. Every Mage's style is different, either in lettering or in materials. I can safely say that the more skilled Mages have the more esoteric scrolls. The success of a scroll does not seem to reside in the penmanship or the quality of ink. Blood, although popular to certain people, carries no more power or assurance than berry juice. 

It seems, instead, to be that the act of writing a scroll is a sort of magic in itself. Writing the scroll is casting the spell and binding it at the same time. That is the source of my academic pursuit. Where, exactly, is the magic stored? How is the power quelled into submission, by the mundane act of touching ink to paper? It is a humble pursuit, but one which promises great power in the conclusion. Perhaps I will find another Method of spellcasting! We shall see."

== Inscription ==
The Inscription skill is used to create spell scrolls and [[Runebooks]]. Select skill, select a spell from the list, target a blank scroll. (The list includes all spells that you can cast and for which you have sufficient reagents. Reagents are expended when inscribing the scroll.)
 
To copy a spell from a scroll onto a spellbook, drag the scroll onto the book. Inscription is not necessary to do this.

Scribing spells uses the same amount of mana that is required when normally casting a spell. See [[Magery]] for Intelligence requirements.

== Training ==
Before training you will need to obtain a bulk amount of blank scrolls and reagents. It should also be recommended to have 100.0 Magery and Meditation, and sufficient Intelligence.

* '''0.0 - 30.0:''' Train from NPC Scribe
* '''30.1 - 50.0:''' Copy a book with some text to a blank book
* '''50.1 - 75.0:''' Make spell scroll Energy Bolt
* '''75.1 - 100.0:''' Make spell scroll Flamestrike

Alternative training method:

* '''0.0 - 30.0:''' Train from NPC Scribe
* '''30.1 - 55.0:''' Make 4th Circle Scrolls
* '''55.1 - 65.0:''' Make 5th Circle Scrolls
* '''65.1 - 85.0:''' Make 6th Circle Scrolls
* '''85.1 - 94.0:''' Make 7th Circle Scrolls
