Ideas from Grail...

Here are some ideas:

• Spells that can *only* be cast by reading scrolls, so they would have to be scribed first
• Scribing multiple spells per scroll; maybe implement a couple different scrolls with different "capacities" for how many spells they can hold
  • That last one i think could actually be pretty cool because people could make custom scrolls,
  • IE: haste, magical burst, aid or whatever
  • 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
