Inscribe or Prescribe...

Since there isn't a pharmaceutical class, let's talk about inscribing or inscription.

Inscribe
     definition: written (by handwriting, printing, engraving, or carving) on or in a surface
     DDO definition: writing spells into your spellbook from scrolls found or bought

The ability to inscribe a spell in DDO is an enhancement for wizards. This takes a scroll and inscription material. Each scroll requires a certain level of inscription material in order to be written.

Inscription materials up to level 2 can be purchased at Dagoward's Apothecary in The Harbor
Inscription materials up to level 8 can be purchased at the Feather's Fall Apothecary in House Jorasco.

Inscribing spells into your spellbook means not having to wait until the next level to get them. It also means you may get access to spells that aren't available through normal leveling. Once inscribed, the scroll is destroyed and the wizard can then use the spell like any other. So at inns or rest shrines, they can switch out with the new spell.

The following instructions are from DDOWIKI:

To inscribe:
1) Place the Inscribe Scroll Feat in your hotbar.
2) Open your inventory.
3) SINGLE-click in inventory on the spell scroll to be inscribed.
4) DOUBLE-click on the Inscribe Scroll Feat. A pop-up progress bar labeled "Inscribing" appears in the upper middle screen. If a pop-up error appears reading that you do not have the appropriate material, then you do not have the Inscription Material matching the spell level.
5) Wait until the progress bar completes and disappears. The spell is now available to be moved from those that are simply known, to those that are currently active.
