Syntax: This is an automatic skill. Having a true passion for the written magical word, thieves with this skill are able to use scrolls as an equal to a mage, as well as more accurately discern their nature with the lore skill. Thieves who are proficient at lore and pen will find added benefit. This skill, and all that derive from it, tread on the boundaries of true magical ability, and are not compatible with the philosophy of the Battle Ragers. See also: SCROLLS, RECITE
