6 You can inscribe empty scrolls and books with a text. This is useful to
7 create messages, especially via the Imperial Post Office (IPO).
8
9 You can also write spell scrolls with a spell known to you. You need
10 L<mana|stat_mana>, time and an old scroll for that. Backfire effects are
11 possible. Only available as a 'writing pen'.
12
13 How to write into a mail scroll/books etc.:
14
15 mark <name of scroll> # or use the menu
16 use_skill inscription <your message goes here>
17
18 How to rewrite a spell scroll:
19
20 mark <name of scroll> # or use the menu
21 cast <spell> # prepare the spell you want to write
22 use_skill inscription # write the spell on the scroll
23
24 If you succeed, the scroll will be a scroll of the spell you chose and
25 your level of inscription as its level. Hence, you don't need to be that
26 level in the spell skill to write higher level spellscrolls.
27
28 Caution: Magic spell writing can be risky to one's health. There can be
29 some negative effects if one fails to write a spell scroll. The most
30 benign is that one becomes confused for a short time. Other effects are
31 more severe and can even be dangerous.
