INVOKE is the verb used to prepare a spell from a scroll. Once prepared, the spell must still be CAST or INCANTed. This will remove one charge of that particular spell from the scroll, and is subject to a skill check of the invoker's Arcane Symbols knowledge.

  • INVOKE {#} while holding a scroll in one hand and nothing in the other to activate the desired spell without penalty. Scrolls can also be invoked one-handed with a 100 point penalty added to the activation modifier.
  • INVOKE {spell} FROM {item} to invoke a spell from specific items.

Messaging

You must specify a spell to invoke, either by number or mnemonic.
