Spellcraft Properties

Properties
Lob. You throw the shell up to 60ft. away.
Mark. You make an Improvised Weapon Attack

Cast Spell (Actions Varies). While holding the gem, you can cast the contained spell from it. Doing so doesn’t require any components, and doesn’t require Attunement. The spell then disappears from the gem.

If the spell is of a higher level than you can normally cast, you must make an Ability Check, using your Spellcasting Ability from your Spellcasting or Pact Magic feature if you have it, to determine whether you cast it successfully. The DC equals 10 + the spell’s level. On a failed check, the spell disappears from the gem with no other effect.

Imbue Spell (P; 1/Dawn). You can imbue the gem with a spell if you’re Attuned to it and it’s empty. To do so, you cast the spell while holding the gem. The spell is stored in the gem instead of having any effect. Casting the spell must require either 1 Action or 1 Minute or longer, and the spell’s level must be no higher than the gem’s maximum.

If the spell belongs to the school of Abjuration and requires material components that are consumed, you must provide them, but they can be worth half as much as normal.

Copying Spells (P). A wizard spell on a spell scroll can be copied just as spells in spellbooks can be copied. When a spell is copied from a spell scroll, the copier must succeed on an Intelligence (Arcana) Check. The DC equals 10 + the spell’s level. If the check succeeds, the spell is successfully copied. Whether the check succeeds or fails, the spell scroll is destroyed.

Properties (Rarity Varies)

Mortika’s Magnificent Modifications

Mortika has developed a technique to modify the Glyph of Warding spell. WHen the spell is cast upon a hollowed sphere worth at least 100gp times it’s spell level, the spell’s properties change in the following way:

Properties
Trigger. The trigger of the glyph is instead: “1 Round after the shell has been Armed, at the Start of the Turn.”
Magical Reinforcement. The shell has an AC equal to the DC to Identify the Spell. Furthermore, it has an amount of HP equal to 10 times the spell level of the glyph and it has Resistance to all damage.
Limitations. The spell does not end when the glyph moves more than 10ft. away from the spell’s origin when it was cast. When the glyph ends, the hollowed sphere disintegrates.

Explosive Armament

Arm (BA). You attempt to activate the grenade through a complex puzzle of pressing, twisting, and pulling. You must succeed a Check to Identify the Spell within to arm the shell.

Deploy (A). As an Action you can deploy the shell with one of the options below. Alternatively, when you take the Attack Action on Your Turn, you can replace one of your attacks with one of the options below:

Deployment
Lob. You throw the shell up to 60ft. away.
Mark. You make an Improvised Weapon Attack

You or someone else can make a ranged spell attack with one of the pebbles by throwing it or hurling it with a sling. If thrown, a pebble has a range of 60 feet.

Scribing a Spell Scroll (Downtime Activity)

————————————————–

With time and patience, a spellcaster can transfer a spell to a scroll, creating a spell scroll.

Resources

Scribing a spell scroll takes an amount of time and money related to the level of the spell the character wants to scribe. In addition, the character must have proficiency in the Arcana skill and must provide any material components required for the casting of the spell.

Moreover, the character must have the spell prepared, or it must be among the character’s known spells, in order to scribe a scroll of that spell. If the scribed spell is a cantrip, the version on the scroll works as if the caster were 1st level.

Scribing Costs

Spell Level	Time	Cost
Cantrip	1 day	15gp
1st	1 day	25gp
2nd	3 days	250gp
3rd	1 workweek	500gp
4th	2 workweeks	2,500gp
5th	3 workweeks	5,000gp
6th	8 workweeks	15,000gp
7th	16 workweeks	25,000gp
8th	32 workweeks	50,000gp
9th	48 workweeks	250,000gp

Complications

Crafting a spell scroll is a solitary task, unlikely to attract much attention. The complications that arise are more likely to involve the preparation needed for the activity. Every workweek spent scribing brings a 10% Chance of a complication, which might involve a rival, examples of which are on the table below:

Scribing Complications

d6	Complication
1	You bought up the last of the rare ink used to craft scrolls, angering a wizard in town.
2	The priest of a temple of good accuses you of trafficking in dark magic.
3	A wizard eager to collect one of your spells in a book presses you to sell the scroll.
4	Due to a strange error in creating the scroll, it is instead a random spell of the same level.
5	The rare parchment you bought for your scroll has a barely visible map on it.
6	A thief attempts to break into your workroom.

History

Creation: Spell Gem. Deep gnomes created these magic gemstones and keep the creation process a secret.

Creation: Spell Scroll. The art of scribing spell scrolls likely begun around the same time as history begun to be recorded by scholars.
