[QUOTE="nevin, post: 9646861, member: 7024481"] There were scrolls in 1e that anyone could use. They tended to be very expensive and very powerful. Protection from water created a sphere in which no water could touch you for the duration. Or do something like churches selling scrolls of Minor miracle that any who read the scripture can call on the power of the god for any spell effect of up to X level (depending on the amount donated to the church). Then you get a good money sink and players get one off generally useful scrolls. I'd add some restrictions or side affects like potential curses if you use them in any way that the church who wrote it would dissaprove of and potential negative affects like say losing x points of constitution if you use them too close together. Or maybe the use of a second scroll causes instant loss of affect for the first. Or even something like the old potion mixing tables for using too many or more than one at a time. I don't worry too much about abuse by players. If they abuse it then you abuse it against them. Fair is fair. If they can do it then so can every body else in the game world. The consequence of being clever is you teach others great ideas. [/QUOTE]
