Spell Scrolls

Description

Adds a new item "Spell Scroll" which can act as a one time use cast of the spell it contains. Alternatively if you have a spellbook you can copy the spell off the scroll into your book. This provides a way for magic using characters to progress without being tied to any organisations teaching them new spells.

Acquiring Spell Scrolls:

• []Scrolls can be dropped by most magic using NPCs and creatures with varying rates, with Mage enemies being the most frequent droppers.

  []Scrolls are also sold by general stores, pawn shops, and book stores. Pawn shops have a chance to roll better quality spells, and general stores a chance to roll lower quality.

  []Scrolls can also be found in loot piles in certain dungeon types: Human and Orc Strongholds, Desecrated Temples, Witch Covens, Vampire Lairs, and Laboratories.

  []The frequency can be adjusted in the mod settings from 0x (no spell scrolls) to 5x (almost guaranteed scroll drops)

  Once obtained, a scroll must be identified either by casting the Identify spell, or having someone in the mages guild identify it for you.

  This can be disabled in the settings.

  Spell scrolls bought from shops are pre-identified. A scroll needn't be identified to be cast, however you won't know what spell you're about to send off ;)

  To copy the spell into your spellbook, Use the scroll in your inventory. To cast it as a one time spell it must be selected from the magic item menu.

  The quality of a spell scroll is determined by your level, and is tied to the material tier of equipment a melee character would be looting. The quality of a spell is determined by the gold cost to create it.

  Technical Info

  In theory any mods adding spells will automatically get added to this system, granted they're registered with the EntityEffectBroker.

  A huge thank you to the Lysandus' Tomb Discord server, and the lovely folks on it. Without whom this mod would have been impossible to make.
