Magic Scrolls are scrolls of parchment that have been enchanted to contain spells.
Description
Effective spell casting depends on two factors:
- The skill of the magic caster.
- The time necessary to cast the spell.
Magic scrolls are items that bypass those needs and are a common tool among to the inhabitants of the New World (to those that can afford them). These scrolls act as vessels for prepared enchantments, enabling casters to bypass the needed time to cast spells and conserve mana. Another quality of their usefulness is that these scrolls do not require a person to have a high knowledge of magic in order to cast it.
Once the spell activated, the sealed magic will be release and the remains of the scroll disintegrate into particles of light. If the sealed spell was released, the magic stored within would be exhausted. But there are many different spells that could be sealed within, so a variety of magic could be prepared in advance according to the situation, making them very convenient and essential.
Abilities
Through the experiments conducted by Titus Annaeus Secundus, magic scrolls made using ordinary animal skins can only contain about 1st tier magic. However, regular parchment could be used to store 2nd tier magic, but nothing above that. This suggests that in order to seal away higher quality spells in magic scrolls, higher quality of materials are necessarily required. For example, using human skin, it is possible to contain at least 3rd tier magic. On the other hand, a scroll made with materials of the highest tier, like dragonhide, could contain even 10th tier magic.
