Scrollmaker

Scribe

• Only one type of scroll (a blank one) 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)
  • Level 10 spell, 50 mana, level 1 scroll, costs 5 mana
  • This system gives players room to experiment with scroll strength, how much mana they want to invest, lots of mana to store high powered spells, or little bits of mana for a quick-fix
    • Not a fan of the third scenario, so I don't think it'll happen
• 200% mana regen penalty for 4 ticks (each scroll after the first increases penalty by 1 tick)
• 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
  • I want to work this in, but I'm not seeing a fully logical way to present it
• 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

• Sorcerer
• Paladin
• AntiPaladin
• Necromancer
• Psionicist? (replace mana with PSP)Not sure if I like this .. could have some balance issues downstream... players would be able to scribe biofeedback and body control and use on other classes - which could really create some invincible chars - Garg
