After having determined exactly which spells can be found upon common scrolls, I have compiled this list of useful spells, as well as their durations and abilities. This information is intended to act as a guide in locating spells for potential scroll infusion projects depending upon your level of skill and interest. For specific information as to the actual working of the spell, [[Scroll Infusion (714)]], see Mekthros's published works.
The spells below have been sorted into three main groups; [[Spell Collection Guide (scroll_infusion)#Scroll Infusion Collection Guide: Novice|Novice Collection]], [[Spell Collection Guide (scroll_infusion)#Scroll Infusion Collection Guide: Intermediate|Intermediate Collection]], and [[Spell Collection Guide (scroll_infusion)#Scroll Infusion Collection Guide: Advanced|Advanced Collection]]. The Novice Collection consists of spells that are somewhat easy to find, charge, and utilize for an extended duration with a relatively low amount of Arcane Symbol Ranks. The second group, Intermediate Collection, are spells that are more difficult to find and charge, and/or have a duration which requires many ranks of Arcane Symbols to use efficiently. Finally, the Advanced Collection contains an assortment of spells very difficult to find and infuse, and are likely to only be useful in select situations.
At the guide's end, one will find a complete list of spells, levels 1 - 19, that cannot be found upon normally occurring scrolls. This amount of gathered data is useful to the avid Scroll Infusor as it will help them avoid searching for scrolls that do not normally exist.
One should note that spells from the [[Minor Elemental]], [[Sorcerer]], and [[Minor Spiritual]] circles are not listed within this guide, as its purpose is to aid the infusing sorcerer in locating scrolls most useful in serving their needs. Neither the Minor Elemental nor the Minor Spiritual circles suffer from any spell exemptions on commonly found scrolls from levels 1 - 19.

After having determined exactly which spells can be found upon common scrolls, I have compiled this list of useful spells, their durations, and abilities. This information is intended to act as a guide as to locating which spells you should seek depending upon your level of skill and interest. For specific information as to the actual working of the spell Scroll Infusion (714), see Mekthros's published works.

The spells below have been sorted into two main groups. The first group is the Beginner's Collection, which consists of spells that are somewhat easy to find, charge, and utilize for an extended duration with a relatively low amount of Arcane Symbol Ranks. The second group is the Experts Collection; these being spells that are more difficult to find and charge, and/or have a duration which requires many ranks of Arcane Symbols to use efficiently. Finally, the spells are further separated into three subgroups: Defense oriented, Utility oriented, and Bolt AS oriented.


Arcane Symbols ([[INVOKE (verb)|INVOKE]]) duration formula:
Arcane Symbols ([[INVOKE (verb)|INVOKE]]) duration formula:
Base duration + ([[Arcane Symbols]] ranks * (half normal duration for spell ranks known))

As mentioned earlier in this guide, the list of spells to follow are not normally found on commonly occurring scrolls generated by Gemstone's treasure system. It is possible to find many of the spells listed on a scroll, though these items either predate the several changes to the scroll generator mechanics, or are exemplary magical artifacts of unique origin.

Title: Spell Collection Guide (scroll infusion)

Author: Evarin

Date Published: 2006-01-25

Updated: 2021-02-14 by Allereli

After having determined exactly which spells can be found upon common scrolls, I have compiled this list of useful spells, as well as their durations and abilities. This information is intended to act as a guide in locating spells for potential scroll infusion projects depending upon your level of skill and interest. For specific information as to the actual working of the spell, Scroll Infusion (714), see Mekthros's published works.

The spells below have been sorted into three main groups; Novice Collection, Intermediate Collection, and Advanced Collection. The Novice Collection consists of spells that are somewhat easy to find, charge, and utilize for an extended duration with a relatively low amount of Arcane Symbol Ranks. The second group, Intermediate Collection, are spells that are more difficult to find and charge, and/or have a duration which requires many ranks of Arcane Symbols to use efficiently. Finally, the Advanced Collection contains an assortment of spells very difficult to find and infuse, and are likely to only be useful in select situations.

At the guide's end, one will find a complete list of spells, levels 1 - 19, that cannot be found upon normally occurring scrolls. This amount of gathered data is useful to the avid Scroll Infusor as it will help them avoid searching for scrolls that do not normally exist.

One should note that spells from the Minor Elemental, Sorcerer, and Minor Spiritual circles are not listed within this guide, as its purpose is to aid the infusing sorcerer in locating scrolls most useful in serving their needs. Neither the Minor Elemental nor the Minor Spiritual circles suffer from any spell exemptions on commonly found scrolls from levels 1 - 19.

Arcane Symbols (INVOKE) duration formula:

Base duration + (Arcane Symbols ranks * (half normal duration for spell ranks known))
