I feel I, the player, have more knowledge about D&D's magic than Carr.We stumble, we fumble, we run blindly... When are we starting to be cool? Also, considering Dalris behaviour, there is absolutely no way she can be a love interest.I wonder which of these two actions will lead the the more graphical and entertaining death. He was trying to solve a conundrum: how can I learn a spell if reading it causes it to disappear from the sheet of paper forever and I am not even allowed to remember what I just read -- since the spell is wasted just by reading a simple sentence that Carr could remember....Also, you mentionned parchment somewhere. A papyrus, I'd have understood, especially with the close proximity of a swamp. But parchment? That's strange. It's made from, you know, dead animals. I am pretty sure Dalris wouldn't approve.If it was, a scroll would an item that you use to cast a random spell, since there would be no way to know beforehand what sort of spell is supposed to be cast. "I am hurt, do something" reads scrolls of Summon Wildlife Animals.On of the cool thing of Mythras's [Runequest-based] Detect Magic is that if you concentrate enough, you can know the spell that is being cast... except there is a provision saying that not every tradition has the same name for spell and Wrack could be called Harm or Ray of Pain. I had much fun giving Vancian-souding names to spells when the player explored a lost civilization. There is a lot of fun in watching players determining if they should cast  "Childish Glee of the Sociopathic Surgeon" on their friends or on their foes. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f923.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":ROFLMAO:" title="ROFL    :ROFLMAO:"  data-smilie="18"data-shortname=":ROFLMAO:" /></blockquote>
