[QUOTE="kreynolds, post: 445815, member: 2829"] I did. I even referrenced the approrpriate pages. However, I was incorrect on one particular point. I never said deciphering a scroll with Read Magic was a standard action. In fact, I specifically stated otherwise. There is also nothing to suggest that use of the Spellcraft skill requires more than a standard action. Actually, you're right. I misread that. My bad. However, don't forget that you don't have to decipher the scroll when you want to activate it and release the spell. You can decipher it minutes, days, weeks, or years early. Once you decipher it, you can activate it any time later. What AuraSeer said. Activating a scroll is a standard action. EDIT: Caliban stated this more clearly in another thread, which is that activating the scroll actually takes the same amount of time as it would to cast the spell. Normally, that's a standard action, but not always. What you seemed confused about is the fact that [i]Decipher the Writing[/i] and [i]Activate the Spell[/i] are two separate processes that do not have to be performed at the same time. One must be done before the other. That's it. [/QUOTE]
