Scroll Crafter

At 1st or 3rd level, you become proficient with either the Calligrapher’s tools or the painter’s tools.

Also, when you finish a long rest, you can choose one spell of 1st level from any spell list. You create a temporary spell scroll of this spell. This scroll lasts until the scroll is activated to cast the spell or until you finish another long rest. You can activate this temporary spell scroll as if the spell was on your class spell list. The spell must be one that does not require an expensive material component.

Scroll Caster

Beginning at 7th or 9th level, you treat any spell on a spell scroll or temporary spell scroll that you are holding as if it is a spell that you know allowing you to cast these spells using your spell slots without expending the spell scroll.

You can create an additional temporary spell scroll with your scroll crafter feature when you finish a long rest. This temporary spell scroll can be of a spell of 3rd level or lower from any spell list. The spell must be one that does not require an expensive material component.

 

Versatile Transcriptions

Beginning at 13th or 15th level, you can also create an additional temporary spell scroll with your scroll crafter feature when you finish a long rest. This temporary spell scroll can be of any spell of 5th level or lower from any spell list. The spell must be one that does not require an expensive material component.

Whenever you finish a short rest, you can also create one temporary spell scroll of a 1st level spell from any spell list if you have fewer than three temporary spell scrolls in total.

Note on temporary spell scrolls

Temporary spell scrolls are not real spell scrolls. Meaning, wizards cannot scribe these spells into their spell books

The scrivener’s temporary spell scrolls are semi-intelligible scribbles and momentary notes of magic potential. While any creature that can cast spells from scrolls can cast these spell as if they were spell scroll, the magic contained in the spell scrolls is only contextually tangible and would become useless if a wizard tried to copy the notes to their spellbook.
