Non-magical mithril still weighs half as much as steel (but doesn't affect who can wear it), and non-magical adamantine is still extra hard to damage (as seen on the Object Armor Class table in the DMG), but doesn't negate critical hits.Good question, which needs an answer because the random magic item tables are full of scrolls. Trading/selling cantrip scrolls makes sense to allow wizards instant access to cantrips they don't otherwise have. Spell scrolls make a bit less sense, since it would likely be cheaper to pay to copy them from another wizard's spell book than to pay to buy a scroll from them and then copy it into your spellbook. But maybe they are assuming that isn't the case. Maybe the assumption is that wizards are paranoid (and/or jerks) and are more likely to sell scrolls than to allow another wizard access to their spellbook (there is the risk of theft, of course). But then again, most spells would already be scribed instead of sitting on a scroll. No, it seems what the magic item table are telling us is a couple of things: 1) magic item formulas for creating scrolls are pretty common, and 2) wizards (or other casters) like to have extra spells on scrolls.If you expand it beyond wizards, it makes plenty of sense that bards and sorcerers might want scrolls to access spells they don't know. So maybe these scrolls are created for that purpose. It also makes sense to create scrolls of spells of the higher level you can cast, since you are limited in spell slots for those. It is kind of odd to have all of those low level spell scrolls floating around though.Does anyone have better ideas to reconcile the existence of all of those scrolls with the assumptions of the game rules and world?</blockquote>
