Inscription
Inscription is the caster support craft. It makes the parchment every scroll wants, and at the top it makes Inscribed Spellbooks that raise the damage of every offensive spell you cast. A mage who has never touched it is casting at a permanent discount to what they could be.

Runes and the books that hold them
A Recall Rune is bought from any Mage Shop, not scribed — what a scribe makes is the scroll that teaches the spell, and the books that file the runes away. Every cost below is base-tier Wood Parchment; the tier ladder does not apply here, the volume is the point.
| Skill | Item | Cost | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
| 45.0 | 10 Wood Parchment + 1× Black Pearl, 1× Blood Moss, 1× Mandrake Root | Read into a spellbook to learn Recall, or bind into a Runetome as one charge. The only spell scroll that cannot be ground back into dust. | |
| 50.0 | 250 Wood Parchment + 100 Arcane Dust | Holds 10 runes, each with its own Recall button. | |
| 100.0 | 1,000 Wood Parchment + 500 Arcane Dust | Holds 30 runes and banks up to 50 Recall charges. A charge travels without spending reagents. |
Recalling from a page is still casting the spell: it wants the mana, the reagents, 30 Magery and a spellbook that knows Recall. The book only saves you hunting through your pack for the right stone. Spend a Runetome charge instead and the reagents are waived — everything else is still owed.
A book must be ON you to travel from it. One in your bank still opens and can be tidied, but its Recall buttons go quiet — the same rule your reagents have always followed. A Bless Deed from the Virtue Shop will keep a book, and every rune inside it, through death.
At 100 Inscription every offensive spell you cast lands 10% harder, permanently. A mage who skipped this is casting at a discount.
That same milestone grinds every spell scroll in your pack to dust automatically. Scrolls of Recall are the one exception — they are exempt, so a stack you scribed to charge a Runetome survives.
