In contrast, magical books of spells and formulae cost much much more. Each simple spell or cantrip in such a tome costs 25gp or so..."  A few even stated that this reference implies a cantrip CAN be written into a spellbook.  Personally I think this probably means written cantrips are nothing more than formulas.</li> </ul>If you do allow ready-to-cast cantrip spell scrolls, then it follows all the normal rules for scroll mass duplications, and be craftable despite not consuming a spell slot.If you do NOT allow ready-to-cast cantrip scrolls, you can only find cantrip formulas that can be used when a character levels up and can learn new cantrips.I dunno.</blockquote>
