📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 448 endorsements and over 20k downloads.
- Opens up scroll learning to every class, giving non-Wizards more flexibility.
- Simple concept that directly expands spell access without overhauling the game.
⚠️ Cons

💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have a spell slot available before trying to learn from a scroll — the mod checks for that.
- If you're using other class mods, test this one early to ensure no conflicts with spell lists.
- Since it's a simple tweak, you can uninstall it anytime without breaking saves, but check your learned spells after removal.
