Description
===========
Gives the player a magic quill that can be
used to scribe scrolls of any spell the
player knows!
Details
=======
NOTE: This is a BETA. Please, test and respond with feedback
Ever wonder what those pieces of Parchment scattered around were for? Now they have a use! By using this magic quill, an inkwell and a piece of parchment, you can scribe any spell you know into a new scroll! This costs twice the Magicka that casting the spell normally does, but when you use it, the scroll is cast Magicka-free, as usual. This allows the player to use their "extra" Magicka that they expect will regenerate before they use it.
When you first start up a game with this mod enabled, the player will be given the Mage's Quill. Then, click on the Quill while you've got a piece of parchment and an inkwell to craft a scroll of that spell.
Note, this uses CloneForm (OBSE).
Mage's Quill of Scrollmaking now includes a skill system! Currently, everytime you craft a scroll, you gain a skill point. (This may change for balance reasons in the future...)
Anyway, here's the current bonuses!
Novice: Inkwells have enough ink to make one scroll (you must make a lot of mistakes!).
Apprentice: Inkwells now last for two scrolls, and you have a chance of crafting a bonus scroll too!
Journeyman: Inkwells now last for three scrolls, and you have a chance to craft up to two bonus scrolls!
Expert: Inkwells now last for four scrolls, and you have a chance to craft up to three bonus scrolls!
Master: Inkwells now last for five scrolls, and you have a chance to craft up to four bonus scrolls!
