As masters of the written word, scribes often find themselves collecting knowledge from vastly different sources and ingratiating it into their combat styles and livelihoods. In fact, scribe do not learn spells through traditional experimentation or by exploring a wellspring of inner power. Aside from their starting spells, all spells that the scribe learns must be gleaned from the people around them. Their varied casting ability, as well as their affinity for traps, make scribe masterful combatants when allowed time to plan. As the ancients say, fortune favors the prepared.
