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 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
