Notes

Inscription does not provide any bonus to spells in this era

Runebooks cannot be blessed

Runebooks and marked Runes can be dyed with a Runebook Dye Tub

The following list of scrolls are the most commonly used and can be recommended to scribe when training:

  • Recall scrolls when training 4th Circle scrolls
  • Mark scrolls when training 6th Circle scrolls
  • Gate Travel or Meteor Swarm scrolls when training 7th Circle scrolls
  • Summon Daemon or Resurrection scrolls when training 8th Circle scrolls

Double-clicking a magic spell scroll in your backpack will cast the spell without the requirement of reagents, but instead consumes the scroll when used
