Wizards can learn scrolls by copying the spell from the scroll into their spellbook, which requires an Intelligence (Arcana) check with a DC equal to 10 + the spell’s level, and if the check succeeds, the spell is successfully copied. The wizard can then prepare and cast the spell as if it were one of their own, allowing them to expand their magical abilities and repertoire.
Understanding the Process of Learning Scrolls
To learn a scroll, a wizard must first acquire the scroll, which can be obtained through various means such as purchasing it from a vendor, finding it in a treasure trove, or receiving it as a gift from another character. Once the wizard has the scroll, they can attempt to copy the spell into their spellbook, which requires a successful Intelligence (Arcana) check.
