What rule are you looking to for withdrawing AND reading a scroll as a free action, all as something separate from the Magic Action and not part of the Magic Action?To outline the rules, the Magic Action says, "When you take the Magic action, you cast a spell that has a casting time of an action or use a feature or magic item that requires a Magic action to be activated."And, "You can interact with one object or feature of the environment for free, during either your move or action...Some magic items and other special objects always require an action to use, as stated in their descriptions."The default action for interacting with an item separate from another type of action is Utilize, which is an action in itself. "You normally interact with an object while doing something else, such as when you draw a sword as part of the <a href="https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/dnd/phb-2024/rules-glossary#AttackAction" target="_blank">Attack</a> action. When an object requires an action for its use, you take the Utilize action."Finally Fast Hands, "Use an Object. Take the <a href="https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/dnd/free-rules/rules-glossary#UtilizeAction" target="_blank">Utilize</a> action, or take the <a href="https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/dnd/free-rules/rules-glossary#MagicAction" target="_blank">Magic</a> action to use a magic item that requires that action."So if it's not included as part of the Magic Action rule for activation, where are you getting it? And if it is part of the Magic action, then how is it not a magic item which requires the magic action?</blockquote>
