Spell scrolls
Spell Scrolls are items found in the treasure system or sold in magic stores such as the one on Ratha. They contain a spell that may be learned either permanently (STUDY) or temporarily (INVOKE). Scrolls from the treasure system are found in varying states of disrepair, with more decrepit scrolls being harder to learn. One's scholarship skill affects the success of being able to read the scroll and INVOKE it. You generally need around 100 scholarship skill to be able to invoke a scroll, although boosts such as Faenella's Grace and scholarship Constellation Jewelry can aid in invoking.
Study
A magic user can permanently learn a spell by STUDYing it if the caster meets the below criteria:
- You have an empty spell slot.
- The spell falls within one of the guild-sanctioned spellbooks (i.e. the ones your Guildleader will tell you about) even if the spell itself does not.
- You have enough TDPs (generally 65 for lower-tier spells and 125 for more complex ones) if the spell is not taught by your Guild. There is no TDP cost if it's something you could learn from a Guildleader.
While Teleologic Sorcery is not sanctioned by the Moon Mage Guild, Moon Mages are able to permanently learn teleologic spells. It's planned for Warrior Mages to eventually be able to memorize Blackfire Sorcery spells in a similar manner.
Invoke
A magic user can temporarily learn a spell by INVOKING it if:
- The spell is first tier (has no other spell requirements).
- You have permanently learned all of the required spells. IE: Invoking a Fire Shard scroll will not make it possible to then invoke a Fire Ball scroll.
- You are a Bard and meet certain requirements.
Moon Mages can also cast Unleash at some scrolls (not all) to gain a fleeting ability to cast the spell on it. There is a chance that the scroll will be destroyed in the process.
If you temporarily memorize two scroll spells at once, the attunement requirements will be added together.
You will lose the spell if your mana attunement falls below a certain level or if you depart upon dying. If you had two scrolls memorized, the second one may be lost even if you are resurrected.
