In practice, it's much like Scribe Scoll, except for the fact that the "scrolls" are stored in the safer, more accessible form of the staff. Wizards with this ability shouldn't get Scribe Scroll at first level, as the abilities are too similar.SpellcacheAt first level, the wizard learns how to store spells in her staff. Effectively, she gains the Scribe Scroll feat using an alternate medium. All rules, XP costs, and expenses that apply to Scribe Scroll also apply to this ability, with the following exceptions. Once cached, the spell remains intangible, resonating within the wizard's staff until it is needed. A wizard can call upon a cached spell at any time she desires it, without any requirements (except that the spell is one that the wizard has cached herself, within her own staff) or chance of mishap. Once activated, a spell activated from a staff works exactly like a spell prepared and cast the normal way. The time it takes to call upon and cast a cached spell is equal to the casting time of the spell.The wizard can store a number of spells in her staff equal to her class level plus her Intelligence modifier. Cached spells are never accidentally lost during combat. If the staff is ever broken, all the spells cached therein are immediately ruined.edited: Note that the nice thing about this ability is that, by giving them a safe, accessible, and cool way to store "scrolls", it adds a bit more spontaneity to the wizard class without watering them down or making them like sorcerers. I imagine wizards with this ability will take advantage of it frequently, preparing their most useful spells but keeping a number of spells that might be needed in an especially dangerous or specialized situation safely stored away in the staff (and thus easily available at hand).</blockquote>
