Spell Scrolls

A spell scroll contains a single spell written in a mystical cipher. If the spell is on your class's spell list, you can use the scroll to cast the spell without providing components or using a spell slot.

Using a scroll:

• The spell must be on your class's spell list.
• If the spell is of a level you can normally cast, you cast it successfully with no check required.
• If the spell is of a higher level than you can normally cast, you must make an ability check using your spellcasting ability (DC 10 + spell level). On failure, the spell disappears from the scroll with no effect.
• The scroll is consumed whether the casting succeeds or fails.
• The spell's casting time, range, and other properties are unchanged.

Scroll level and save DC/attack bonus:

Wizard copying: A Wizard can copy a spell scroll into their spellbook. This requires an Arcana check (DC 10 + spell level), and the scroll is destroyed whether the check succeeds or fails. On success, the Wizard adds the spell to their spellbook.

Who can use scrolls: Only characters with the spell on their class spell list can use spell scrolls. A Fighter without spellcasting cannot use a scroll of fireball. The Thief Rogue's Use Magic Device feature (level 13) bypasses this restriction.
