Message: <blockquote data-quote="Eric Olson1" data-source="post: 9470356" data-attributes="member: 6975382">The action associated with a reading a "casting time=action" scroll is: Magical action [cast spell] - the scroll makes this possible and is destroyed in the process. As written, some 2024 items upfront state that a magic action is required for activation, some 2024 do not state that a magic action is required for activation. It will be a DM's choice if those that don't specify a required magic action would still qualify for Fast Hands. A very strict reading would require the item to state that prerequisite. As indented?  The best we have so far is a quote from Crawford's youtube video: "The thief will be able to take a magic item that requires a magic action for activation and thanks to fast hands, activate it as a bonus action."  To me, the reason he carefully spoke the words "for activation" was to distinguish it from other types of magic actions. If he left out those two words, I would be on your side here.</blockquote>
