Magical writing sets are tools used to create scrolls. The player uses the set, along with a blank scroll, and is given the option to specify a type of scroll to create — which must be one that the player has previously read. If the attempt is successful, the result is a scroll of the player's choosing — possibly coupled with the loss of points of the Mana stat. Each set has a limited number of charges, and it cannot be recharged; upon the use of the last charge, the set disappears. Blank scrolls can be obtained by dipping unwanted scrolls in plain water.

| Desirability
| - Magical writing sets are highly useful for PCs of some classes: monks in particular, and members of magical classes as well. Since they can produce desirable scrolls like chaos resistance, protection, and education, they remain useful late in the game.

| Description
| - Magical writing sets are tools used to create scrolls. The player uses the set, along with a blank scroll, and is given the option to specify a type of scroll to create — which must be one that the player has previously read. If the attempt is successful, the result is a scroll of the player's choosing — possibly coupled with the loss of points of the Mana stat.
Each set has a limited number of charges, and it cannot be recharged; upon the use of the last charge, the set disappears. Blank scrolls can be obtained by dipping unwanted scrolls in plain water.
More valuable scrolls are likely to extract a price in the form of points of Mana from the PC who attempts to write them. Monks are exempt from this cost; for Wizards, it appears to be less than for most other classes. Scrolls of chaos resistance are the most difficult to create; scrolls of education are second. Attempts at creating scrolls are more likely to succeed, and may extract a smaller price, if both the magical writing set and the blank scrolls used are blessed beforehand. Creating scrolls also costs dozens of power points; if the PC doesn't have enough, hit points will be lost instead.
Despite these limitations, magical writing sets can be a useful, if costly, way to gain needed corruption removal, and an excellent source for other rare and useful scrolls, like education, danger, protection, and increase melee damage.
