Spellcasting Ability
Intelligence Intelligence
Prepared Spells Icon.webp Prepared spells
You may swap your Prepared Spells at any time while out of combat, but can only have a certain number of Spells prepared at a time. The Spells must be of a level for which you have Spell Slots.
Spell Scribing Icon.webp Spell Scribing
A Wizard who finds a Scroll for a Spell they do not know may permanently copy that Spell to their Spellbook at the cost of the scroll and 50gp per level of the Spell (Picture example). The Spell must be one for which the Wizard has a spell slot, even if they got it by multiclassing (so a L4 Cleric / L1 Wizard can transcribe Level 3 spells).
In the event of a class change, if the character is no longer a wizard but later becomes one again, spells learned with scrolls will still be memorized. At least one wizard level is required to access it.
Scrolls can not be created (scribed from a wizards spellbook).
Additionally, the following spells do not have a matching scroll, and cannot be learned by scribing :
Acid Splash Acid Splash
Blade Ward Blade Ward
Dancing Lights Dancing Lights
Friends Friends
Light Light
Mage Hand Mage Hand
Minor Illusion Minor Illusion
Poison Spray Poison Spray
True Strike True Strike
Shield Shield
Counterspell Counterspell
Arcane Gate Arcane Gate
Create Undead Create Undead
