Magic item creation -a scroll for each day

[zlorf]

Hi,

When creating a magic item that requires a spell from a scroll, do you need
a scroll for each day you are creating the magic item? ie (10 days, 10 scrolls)
(this is assumed you dont have a spell caster available who has that spell and can memorize
it each day)

TIA

Yes.

From SRD

A spell prerequisite may be provided by a character who has prepared the spell (or who knows the spell, in the case of a sorcerer or bard), or through the use of a spell completion or spell trigger magic item or a spell-like ability that produces the desired spell effect. For each day that passes in the creation process, the creator must expend one spell completion item or one charge from a spell trigger item if either of those objects is used to supply a prerequisite.
