Scrollmaker

Scribe

Only one type of scroll (a regular blank one, or a blank grant scroll) required (no more scroll levels)
Mana cost of spell is drained from scroll maker when scribing (or 125% of cast cost?)
Specify level of scroll
Amount of mana drained depend on level of scroll (scroll-level / spell-level * spell-mana-cost)
- Level 10 spell, 50 mana, Level 10 scroll, costs 50 mana
- Level 10 spell, 50 mana, level 60 scroll, costs 300 mana (60 / 10 * 50)

200% mana regen penalty for 4 ticks
Scrolls are 800 gold (or something) everywhere
5 levels of Scribe skills, determines how high level of spell you can scribe
Grant-scroll skill, allows you to make scrolls that give grants to the reciter
- costs 200% of mana cost
- determined by the type of blank scroll being scribe to
Scrollmaker guild will have a "desk" in a room that you must be "at" in order to make scrolls
- Ability to buy a desk for your personal room (dedicated room, no storage)

Classes

Ideas on the table:

Time to scribe based on mana cost
Instead of 200% mana regen penalty for 4 ticks, have mana regen stop entirely for a time (4 ticks?) (balance out how much can be scribed in one go)
Time to scribe & success based on stats (wisdom, room flags (soundproof))
Scrolls that have room for multiple (different) spells (definable, rarer / more expensive)
Scrolls with free space could be added to by other classes
Implement spells that can only be cast if read from a scroll (learned via quest, remort, another subclass, or spells learned by scrollmaker?)
Scrolls with combo spells could produce additional affect depending on the combo, and even the order the spells were scribed
