Inscription

Inscription skill banner

Inscription is the scribe’s crafting skill. The prose is community-derived (paraphrased from the uorenaissance.com skill list plus ServUO behavior) pending field verification; the stats table is source-verified against ServUO.

Inscription writes Magery spell scrolls from reagents and mana, and crafts spellbooks, runebooks, and (in expansion content) some spell-school books. Scribed scrolls are a steady gold earner, and on a caster high Inscription adds a small spell-damage bonus to Magery, which is why it appears on Pure Mage templates.

Have a spellbook with the spell, the required reagents, and the mana, then use a scribe’s pen to inscribe the scroll. For spellbooks/runebooks, use the pen on the blank book material. See crafting, spellcasting, and reagents.

  • Low skill — scribe low-circle scrolls (circle 1–2); cheap reagents.
  • Mid/high skill — work up to the highest-circle scrolls you can cast; these give the steadiest gains and the best resale.

Recipe thresholds live in Scripts/Services/Craft/DefInscription.cs. See skill gain.

Inscription requires the spell to be in your book and consumes the same reagents as casting it. The Magery spell-damage bonus from high Inscription is applied in the spell damage math; exact magnitude is unverified here.
