Now, I've read several threads that sound similar to this one, but none of them really touch on the question I have and I can't find a proper response to it. I am a Magus, using Spell-Scars to make "scrolls". The pricing is still the same as if using Scribe Scroll (12.5 × spell level × caster level). If I am crafting a 'Scroll of Shield' (Or any Level 1 spell that doesn't scale off of level, for that matter) at the lowest possible caster level, how much would this cost, and why? Because the way I see it from math, if I'm just crafting a level 1 spell at caster level 1, wouldn't it still just be 12 gold 5 silver? Or does it immediately get bumped up to 25 gold, even if I'm making it at the lowest possible level?

You're welcome to ask it, but separate questions have to be posted as separate question posts (otherwise they eventually get lost, hidden in a post that is tagged and titled for the first question). \$\endgroup\$SevenSidedDie– SevenSidedDie2017-05-13 23:41:43 +00:00Commented May 13, 2017 at 23:41

1 The Price for "Scribing" a scroll is always equal to half of what it would cost to purchase the same scroll you are making. For a caster/spell level 1 scroll (25 x spell level x caster level), that would be 25/2 which is 12.5 gold to scribe the scroll. And since that is what Spell-Scars allows you to do, that is what it would cost.
As for the second part of the question; it would be the same effect either way, except that you don't get the benefit of casting the spell. Thats a question for your GM, though as one myself, I would see no issue in it.
- 1\$\begingroup\$ I absolutely misread a table on Paizo's site is where this confusion stems from (paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/coreRulebook/magicItems/… Creating Scrolls, 2/3 down the page). I didn't realize it was the price of buying them. It was directly under the title of the section named "Creating Scrolls", so I read it and took it at face value. Complete mess-up on my part. Thanks very much for the clarification. \$\endgroup\$Aleck– Aleck2017-05-13 21:37:21 +00:00Commented May 13, 2017 at 21:37
