Wondrous Magic Items: Spell Scrolls

Spell scrolls are a consumable magic Item that disappears when used. Each scroll can have one arcane spell attack power or utility power from any class that can cast spells, but not paragon path or epic destiny powers. When you make a scroll select a spell you know when creating the scroll or any other spell for your class. Basically the scrolls are a one-time use of that spell so you gain implement bonuses and such to attack rolls as if you were using the power normally. Each spell level of a scroll costs the same amount of components as any other magic item of its level (see page 223, players handbook for component costs), so the wizards Chain Lightning spell scroll would cost 425,000gp (level 23 Encounter attack power) worth of arcane components. Spell scrolls come in many varieties some of which are listed here. Since there are so may spells available that are daily powers, the DM may raise the component cost as needed if he or she thinks this is to overpowering for the PCs.
