a 2nd attempt to unlock it was unsuccessful, and in my referral I was told it has no value (me: but, um, a scroll that has never been used with these spells has got to have value, and why is it still phasing?). I also ended up with Zyllah, whose advice on technical aspects I just can't respect, so I'm in line to see a SGM

[Numbers]

It's burnt.

[Kitsun]

Did you use 125 to open the box? Scrolls that are burnt by blowing up boxes lose all value. Some scrolls just have burnt as an adjective.

yes i understand that, but my question is should it have phased? or been capable of being unlocked?

[Fallen]

Yes, it is a known bug, but don't bother suggesting it should be fixed on the boards, as Nilven isn't listening.

Basically, the scroll ACTS as though it is fresh. You can phase it, you can unlock the spells, you can even put mana into it, wasting time, mana, resources.

However, the scroll was locked all along because you obtained via someone using 125 to open a box. The problem is not ALL burnt scrolls gen this way. Some gen naturally and work just fine. They should change the adjective of one's from 125 to "Singed" or sommat.

Sucks, I know.

[AestheticDeath]

So what, phasing is a way to check if it can be infused without using a runestone thing?

[Fallen]

Yes. If it CAN be phased, that means it is fresh (aside from the bug detailed above), if the scroll is "resistant to your magic!" it is locked, and cannot be unlocked/infused.

[Allereli]

You say, "Belnia doesnt know where the scroll came from."

Alyias says, "So, I've done a fair bit of research into your vellum..."
>smi
You smile.

Alyias says, "She doesn't? That's unfortunate."
>'much appreciated. Evarin said it's a \known bug that 135'd scrolls will be phasesable
You say, "Much appreciated. Evarin said it's a \known bug that 135'd scrolls will be phasesable."

Alyias says, "It is indeed functioning as it should be. As it's built right now, it's not infusable, even though it does have four spells unlocked."
>'125'd that is
You say, "125'd that is."
>'broken arm
You say, "Broken arm."
>'terrible typing
You say, "Terrible typing."
>
Alyias says, "It may have been intially set to be uninfusable, but without knowing the history of the vellum, we can't find out if that was purposeful when it was created, or an accident."
>'my only real objection is...
You say, "My only real objection is..."

Alyias asks, "Was it already unlocked when you received it?"
>'it should not br phaseable
You say, "It should not br phaseable."
>'no i unlocked it
You say, "No i unlocked it."
>'got no fail messages
You say, "Got no fail messages."

Alyias nods.

Alyias says, "You wouldn't unlocking it."
>'sure, if i had locked it
You say, "Sure, if i had locked it."
>'i'm not capped, i still do it, but rarely
You say, "I'm not capped, i still do it, but rarely."
>
Alyias says, "It's just set so that it's not able to be infused and charged up."
>
Alyias says, "And, like I said, wether or not that was on purpose by the scrolls creator, or an accident, we can't tell."
>
Alyias says, "Since we have no history of the vellum."
>'so it shouldnt be phaseable, that really is the only tool sorcerers have to indicate freshness of a scroll

You say, "That's really all i want, thanks."
