Page and Chapter

After performing a 1-hour ritual, a scalescribe can bond with one willing creature capable of Casting Spells. The scalescribe can Aid their bonded caster in Crafting a scroll, and they can make their Transcribed spell available to the caster so long as the spell is of the caster's tradition. A bonded prepared caster can prepare the spell. A bonded spontaneous caster can add the spell to their spell repertoire during their daily preparations, and it remains as long as the Transcribed scroll exist

Trigger Another creature targets the scalescribe with a spell requiring verbal components

Effect The scalescribe attempts to copy the incantation onto a scroll by attempting a counteract check (counteract rank 8, counteract modifier +28) with the following effects instead of the normal effects of counteracting. The spell still affects the scalescribe, regardless of the results of this check. The scalescribe can Cast a Spell from any scroll they Transcribe as if it were on their spell list.

When the scalescribe deals damage to a creature with their fountain pen, the creature takes 4d4 persistent poison damage. When a creature taking this damage attempts to take an action with the concentrate trait, it must succeed at a DC 5 flat or the action is disrupted.
