Syntax: recite <scroll> <optional target>
This skill represents the ability of a PC to activate magical scrolls. Should a character possess a percentage lower than 5, she is unable to activate any scroll. Above that, the character has a chance to cast whatever spell or spells written on the scroll. The chance of successfully casting the spell is based on percentage, and when perfected, it is virtually impossible to fail. A scroll is consumed when it is recited.
It should be noted that scrolls containing a spell do not change that spell in any way. Thus, while a scroll of armor could be recited on anyone, a scroll of gaseous form could only be recited to affect the character doing the reciting, not a secondary target.
