	Ideas ~~from Grail...~~		Ideas on the table:
			* Time to scribe based on mana cost
	~~Here are some ideas~~:		* Time to scribe & success based on stats (wisdom, room flags (soundproof))
	* ~~Spells that can~~ ~~only be cast by reading scrolls~~, ~~so they would have to be scribed first~~		* Scrolls that have room for multiple (different) spells (definable, rarer / more expensive)
	* ~~Scribing~~ multiple ~~spells per scroll; maybe implement a couple~~ different ~~scrolls with different "capacities" for how many~~ spells ~~they can hold~~		* Scrolls with free space could be added to by other classes
	** That last one i think could ~~actually~~ be ~~pretty cool because people could make custom scrolls,~~		* Implement spells that can only be cast if read from a scroll (learned via quest, remort, another subclass, or spells learned by scrollmaker?)
	** IE: haste, magical burst, aid or whatever		* Scrolls with combo spells could produce additional affect depending on the combo, and even the order the spells were scribed
	** as in all 3 spells on one scroll, for an instant boost of all 3
	** The other ~~benefit this would give is that scrolls could contain spells from several different~~ classes
	** I think that would actually make the whole idea more interesting, because people could experiment with some cool combo scrolls
	* Quests or other means to learn spells that can ~~also~~ only be ~~used when scribed on~~ a scroll
	* Make scribing time/success dependent on wisdom, ~~room type (IE quiet~~ or ~~soundproof would cause better concentration~~)
	* ~~Extension to spell combos: have some~~ spells produce ~~an extra effect when they are scribed~~ on the ~~same scroll~~, ~~but don't make these apparent~~
	* Also possibly have that based on the order ~~they need to be~~ scribed ~~in, so we could plant notes around the mud that hint at interesting spell combos for scrolls~~
