Scrolls are one-time-use version of magic spells. They can be used by the appropriate classes, even if they are unidentified or a higher level spell than the caster would normally have access to. Alternatively, they can be saved and when in an appropriate and safe place, be used to attempt to learn the spell permanently.

Identification

All casters automatically identify scrolls of spells they already know. Identification still takes a turn.

Magic-Users uniquely can attempt to identify any scroll with Read Magic.

Highland Shamans can use scrolls of Nature spells and instantly recognize any scrolls of their current Spell Level. Higher level spells need to be identified by a Magic User or another Highland Shaman of sufficient level before they can be learned.

Clerics can use scrolls of divine spells, and instantly recognize any scrolls of their current Spell Level. Higher level spells need to be identified by a Magic User or another Cleric of sufficient level before they can be learned.

Using Unidentified Scrolls

As long as the scroll is of a type of magic known by the caster, a scroll can be used without identifying it first. Obviously this is risky!

Scribing Scrolls

Scrolls may be created by Clerics or Magic-users at a cost of 100 gold pieces per level of the spell, and require a week of work for each spell level.

Protection Scrolls

This is a rare form of scroll that may be used by any adventurer.
