=== Scribing Spell Scrolls ===

It is possible to create or scribe scrolls for prayers and spells of your choosing.

There is a high chance of failure when starting out or at a low level for this skill. 

Collect and save as many low level scrolls as you can find (the level of the scroll, *NOT* the level of the spell on the scroll) - the lower, the better. It is also in your best interest to try scribing low level (i.e., Level 1) spells as well.

Process:
  - Mark the scroll ('mark scroll or shift & middle click on the stack of scrolls)
  - Get the spell ready that you want to scribe to the scroll ('cast minor healing)
  - Use the inscription skill ('use_skill inscription)

If successful, you should see a message in regards to creating the spell scroll.
