Scroll Books

A change was made tonight to the GM auction scroll combiner books. There was a bug in them that, when used in conjunction with Scroll Infusion (714), was allowing spells on scrolls to be infused and kept in-game indefinitely. The books were originally released as a way of consolidating spells from many different scrolls onto a single scroll. When Scroll Infusion came out, these began to operate with Scroll Infusion in an unintended way. These books were able to take spells off of scrolls that could no longer be infused and put them on fresh scrolls, which were not locked or deteriorated, which was not the original design intent of these books.

As a result of this change, spells that are transferred off a scroll that is no longer unlockable will cause the destination scroll to become unlockable. Any spells already unlocked on the destination scroll will remain infusible (subject to normal deterioration). The new spells will not be able to be unlocked. If spells are transferred from an unlocked scroll, the destination scroll will remin unlockable. If anyone has any questions, please direct them to the Sorcerer Spells discussion topic in the Sorcerer category.
