D&D 3E/3.5 3.5 - The easiest way to make a NPC able to read scrolls

[CaptainAuanaghènz]

I'm not sure, but is possibile that psionic books are "banned".

I already tried to summon a Couatl (+17 in UMD) but because we are both chaotic evil, my deity disagrees.
Maybe should work summoning Couatl with planar binding, but I don't know if Couatl will be collaborative.

In meanwhile, some other solution?

For the love of god, man.
Can't you ask the Dijinn to curse the scroll? Then just use Read Magic on it.

By means of read magic, you can decipher magical inscriptions on objects—books, scrolls, weapons, and the like—that would otherwise be unintelligible. This deciphering does not normally invoke the magic contained in the writing, although it may do so in the case of a cursed scroll. Furthermore, once the spell is cast and you have read the magical inscription, you are thereafter able to read that particular writing without recourse to the use of read magic. You can read at the rate of one page (250 words) per minute. The spell allows you to identify a glyph of warding with a DC 13 Spellcraft check, a greater glyph of warding with a DC 16 Spellcraft check, or any symbol spell with a Spellcraft check (DC 10 + spell level).

If nothing else works, why don't you wish the dijinn to summon forth the party wizard? Or even a level 1 wizard NPC, for the love of Gandalf.
And next level please take one rank in UMD.

Edited. Grammar, my enemy...
