Scroll writing.

In my view due to OP problems this should be a limited activity in the sort of spells you can use. Since most this stuff will probably be already available on shops. It should also be very very easy to use/create.

Skill: Write

This would allow you to put a non blocked spell from your spell list into a scroll. It would consume a single raw material. It would lag the writer a bit.

Rare spells lag more and require a special raw material.

Spells allowed:

Cure blindness.

Cure poison.

Cure disease.

Poison

Plague

Blindness

Cure light

Cure serious

Heal

Armor

Shield

Stoneskin

Flesh Armor

Sanctuary backpack /10

Energy Drain

Weaken

Lightning bolt

Chill

The scrolls would only have 1 spell. At mastery you could put 2 different spells in the scroll and cost 4 times the materials.

(Heal+ cure serius, Plague+blind, armor+shield, ...)

Spell level is character level multiplied for his WRITE profeciency divided by 100. L50 at mastery, L40 at 80% and pinacle.

scrolls need vellum.

Other scrolls need shop bought paper. Paper costs 100-500 gold.

Don't like the scroll writing spell. It nerfs dispel and Haymaker a lot of you can combine spells ina scroll. also makes buffing self/others not require mana to cast/commune.

I think this is a poor idea that will make mages too buff vs melee

Ok. I read probably about 12% of Mya's post. Now once I hit a certain point, I could no longer take it seriously.

Mya suggests a scroll of cure blindness. Think about that for a few seconds and let me know where it all goes wrong.

You slipped with the cure blind Nameless.

Anyone who has pets and has fought a decent Shaman or battlemage knows what those are for.

P_body, what spells are you worried as a Zerker?

Armor, shield and stone skin?

Because I used to carry 10 of this that you can buy at shops.

Object 'scroll invulnerability' is type scroll, material paper.

Extra flags: glow.

Weight is 0, value is 20000, level is 20.

Level 35 spells of: 'stone skin' 'armor' 'shield' 'reserved'.

Not to speak of the .

Object 'scroll rejuvenation' is type scroll, material paper.

Extra flags: none.

Weight is 0, value is 8000, level is 10.

Level 15 spells of: 'refresh' 'cure critical' 'bless' 'reserved'.

Sanctuary? Because a Ankh carries 10 charges. Any C/C worth his salt will have an ankh for backup.

For use when low on mana or when silenced/blasphemed.

That is why the Sanctuary scrolls are so heavy. So that you can't stock them in large piles.

10 scrolls of sanctuary would weight 500. Or 50 if placed inside a backpack.

Sure you can carry 100 in backpacked weight worth of scrolls (20 scrolls) but you could carry 2 ankhs or 2 Glimmering staves.

I was just making a joke about the cure blind. I understand the benefits of being able to cure blindness. I also don't think you should be casting things without using mana.

What thing?

I find the list very balanced.

As I hope the final Weapon smiting will be. Because if anything, meeles don't need even more buffs than the ones they been having all these years.

Weapons don't really do much for mages, but they sure do against them...
