A spell knowledge item (also commonly referred to as self-knowledge or just SK) grants the wearer (jewelry, armor and clothing), or wielder (weapons and shields), inherent knowledge of a spell without training in Spell Research of any circle. The user will be able to PREPARE and CAST, or INCANT, and even EVOKE and/or CHANNEL the spell, as applicable. Any form of casting the spell will use the caster's mana. Spell knowledge item spells may be of any spell circle and usable by any profession regardless of that profession's native spell circles, unless there are specific restrictions built into the item by its creator.

Unlike casting from scrolls or using imbedded magical items, a spell cast using a spell knowledge item will receive the full benefit for all applicable Lore ranks.

Spell Knowledge Enhancives

Spell knowledge enhancives (SKEs) are items in which the spell knowledge is granted via an enhancive ability, and charges drain as the item is worn/wielded just like stat and skill enhancives. A SKE may have up to two spells on it, but no other enhancive abilities. They must also be charged via bounty points or spell knowledge enhancive charging potions.

While item upkeep is required for SKEs, unlike the older items, they provide the benefit of the spell(s) not counting towards spellburst if it is a defensive/worn utility spell.

Original spell knowledge items were released long before the enhancive system was created, and some of them are still in use.

SimuCoin Items

Short-term and long-term spell knowledge enhancive charging potions are available in the SimuCoin store as a potent blue-green potion and a potent yellow-green potion, respectively. A SKE item will not drain any charges while under the effect of either of these potions

Spell Duration

Imbedding

Users of spell knowledge items can use Magic Item Creation (420) to imbed the spell into appropriate imbeddable items, and clerics can use Holy Receptacle (325), if the spell is able to be imbedded. When a spell knowledge enhancive item is used to IMBED, it will drain a charge from an item.

Below is a table of spells which can be normally imbedded. Spells in green can be imbedded and spells in pink cannot. No spells above the 20th spell in a circle nor Bard Spellsongs can be imbedded. Circles which would not ordinarily be known by a character knowing Magic Item Creation that can be imbedded are also shortened in the table for brevity.

Self-knowledge scroll

Spell knowledge scrolls debuted in April 2018 and are identifiable by the vibrant ink the spells are written in. Each spell on a scroll can only be invoked once, and spells not typically appearing on standard scrolls may appear on SK scrolls.

When a spell is invoked from such a scroll, it will grant the user temporary knowledge of the spell. The duration lasts a base of 5 minutes for buffs, and 10 minutes for offensive spells. Any spells cast off these spells can be cast infinitely in those windows, but buffs will fade when the window closes - meaning they will only last a base of 5 minutes. This base window can be increased to around a max of 60 minutes for buffs, and 120 minutes for offensive spells via Scroll Infusion. These spells will be treated as native cast for spell burst and Rift dispel.

Buffs from these scrolls are self-cast only. Offensive spells will benefit from the generic CS/spell rank system.

Scrolls may not be used with Magic Item Creation (420).

Example

It takes you a moment to focus on the glittering palimpsest.

(214) Bind in vibrant ink
(115) Fasthr's Reward in vibrant ink
(212) Interference in vibrant ink
(105) Poison Resistance in vibrant ink
