That'll take a whole lot less than a minute to read.Dude, it's magic. You might as well ask why Fireball requires sulfur, or why a Wall of Force is invisible. It works that way because that's how it works.Fix what? It's not broken!A scroll is a magic item that lets you cast a spell in one round, because that's what scrolls do. It requires that you be able to see and read the writing, because that's how scrolls work. It's balanced in power against other magic items, it's useful in the game, and it has clear, straightforward rules. I really don't see why you're having such a conniption over it.If you want a ruleset that simulates reality down to the speed of reading individual words, you're playing the wrong game. If you're just determined to change the way scrolls work, that's fine, but the House Rules forum is <a href="http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=45" target="_blank">that way</a>.</blockquote>
