Not necessarily knowing how complex/robust the research system is, but since high sorcery research is now a [very cool] thing...

What's the possibility for being able to perform a form of research that results in making a scroll? The difficulty of the scroll could depend on the spell's tier/difficulty, and that difficulty could be offset by scholarship and/or arcana.

I kinda like the idea of a warrior mage being able to take a few days to create a fire shard scroll, or a Bard taking a month or so to write Whispers of the Muse, and so on.

The base research system is pretty expandable. We probably won't want to make scrolls any more prevalent they already are (at least in Prime), unless we bring back the 'harness reserve' or something.

That's why I was hoping a buffer of a few days/weeks/(month or so?) to make a scroll would help sell the idea. Definitely agree that it's not something anyone should really be able to mass produce, even for lower level scrolls.

I'm hoping that 'metaspells' for High Sorcery come in the form of research theorems that won't have to take up a spell slot. This is such a great way to deliver some awesome lore pieces, too.
