Scrollscriber's Supplies

The arcane symbols of magic are scrawled in delicate care, these glyphs of magic infuse the scrolls, books, and even tablets they are written on to. Scrollscribes spend their days pushing their magic into scrolls to be used by others or even by themselves in stressful situations.

Scrollscriber's Supplies

Scrollscriber's supplies include five vials of different colored ink, quills, gold leaf, and 10 sheets of paper. Your tools weigh 3 lbs and costs 65 gp.

Scribing a Scroll

To scribe a scroll you need scrollscriber's supplies, several hours, materials needed (including gold), and knowledge of the spell you wish to create. No check is required to scribe a spell scroll.

Cantrip

If the scribed spell is a cantrip, the version on the scroll works as if the caster were 1st level.

Intelligence

To scribe a spell scroll, the scriber must have an Intelligence score equal to at least 10 + the spell level. The scribe must also be able to cast spells of that level and know the spell they are scribing.

It doesn't matter if the scriber uses a different ability for casting their spells, Intelligence is required for knowing how to write the spell out. This means if you have a 12 Intelligence, you can only scribe up to 2nd level spells.

Scribe Cost

Every scroll requires additional materials than just spell materials in order to scribe. You must have a number of sheets of paper and number of vials for each spell scroll you scribe, as well as other rare and strange ingredients that you must mix into the vials. When scribing a scroll, you spend an amount of gold equal to the spell scroll level per the Creating a Spell Scroll chart. Prices taken from Sane Magical Prices.

Spell Slots

You must expend the appropriate level spell slot for every 8 hours you are working on a scroll. If you wish to create a level 6 spell scroll, you must expend a level 6 spell slot for every 8 hours you work on the scroll, meaning you must expend a 6th level spell slot six times.

Spell Material Cost

While scribing a scroll, you must first provide the material cost of the spell. This means if you wish to create a 3rd-level revivify spell scroll, it will require you to spend 300 gp of diamond dust for the spell materials. These materials then infuse the spell scroll with their essence, this is permanent.

Time Required

You must spend at least 8 hours a day working on your scroll to make progress. Per the DM's discretion, you could break up the 8 hours in increments.

Creating a Spell Scroll

Spell Level Scribe Cost Time
Cantrip 10 gp 8 Hours
1st 60 gp 16 Hours
2nd 120 gp 24 Hours
3rd 200 gp 32 Hours
4th 320 gp 40 Hours
5th 640 gp 48 Hours
6th 1,280 gp 56 Hours
7th 2,560 gp 64 Hours
8th 5,120 gp 72 Hours
9th 10,240 gp 80 Hours

Proficiency

If you are proficient with scrollscriber's supplies, the gold cost to scribe a scroll is halved though not for the material requirements of a spell as you understand how to infuse magic with less arcane inks and magic. If you are attempting to craft a revivify spell scroll, a 3rd-level spell, you must expend 300 gp for the material component of the spell as well as spend 100 gp for the material needed for the scroll, a total of 400 gp to produce a revivify scroll.

Buying & Selling Scrolls

If you wish to purchase or sell a scroll, the price is based off of the level of the spell scroll, as per the Creating a Spell Scroll chart and the material cost of the spell. If you wish to purchase a 3rd-level spell scroll of revivfy, it would cost 600 gp (300 gp for the spell materials, and 200 gp for the scroll scribe). This cost is subject to DM's discretion and may increase or decrease depending on the pervasiveness of magic, the kingdom's wealth, and other factors.

Additional Materials

The scribe cost represents the cost of materials, like ink and paper, though you may need to buy more if a complication arises. At DM's discretion, certain exotic and very rare materials might provide additional bonuses or abilities to the spell scroll, like providing additional uses of a spell scroll or casting a spell that requires an Action, but as a Bonus Action.
