[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 9546768, member: 6801228"] Rules of a spell scroll say it is cast using the normal casting time. Per my understanding if a spell takes 1 minute to cast, what is happening mechanically is the caster is taking the magic action every turn for one minute to cast it. Therefore, the Thief can substitute the action for a bonus action, this will allow them to either use their bonus action for one minute, leaving their action free, or they can cut the time in half by using both their action and bonus action on their turn.
