Spell Scroll as seen on the adventure map
Spell Scroll You find a spell scroll inscribed with the <spell name> spell. You toss it in your backpack.

Spell scroll typically refers to a treasure that can be found on the adventure map. Although it is not technically an artifact, it works in a very similar way. It appears in the backpack after hero picks it up, and it can be equipped in the miscellaneous artifact slot. The scroll contains one spell, and as long as the scroll is equipped, that spell is added to the hero's spell book. However, unlike artifacts, scrolls cannot be sacrificed at an Altar of Sacrifice for experience.

It is possible to use spell scrolls, tomes and Spellbinder's Hat to cast (Adventure map) spells even when the hero doesn't have a spell book and/or doesn't have a high enough Wisdom secondary skill to cast them normally.

Spell scrolls can be sold to artifact merchants (but not to the Junkman Horn of the Abyss) with a basic cost of 2500 Gold.
