How to Learn Spells from Scrolls in Baldur's Gate 3

Discover how to copy Wizard spell scrolls into your spellbook in Baldur's Gate 3. Learn the costs, limitations, and benefits of expanding your magical repertoire.

Alright, so you've found a cool spell scroll in Baldur's Gate 3, right? Awesome! Now, if you're playing as a Wizard, you've got a neat trick up your sleeve: you can actually *learn* the spell from that scroll and add it to your permanent spellbook. Think of it like permanently adding a new spell to your repertoire, not just a one-off use.

Here's the lowdown: you can use spell scrolls directly from your inventory, either in or out of combat. Just right-click it and choose 'Cast spell.' But if you've got a Wizard in your party and the scroll has a spell *they* can learn, you can do something even better: copy it! This means you'll have that spell available to prepare and cast whenever you need it, for the rest of the game. Just remember, you still need to prepare it like any other spell, and you've only got so many spell slots, so it's more about having more options than just raw power.

To copy a spell, it's pretty straightforward. Just right-click the scroll in your inventory and select 'Learn spell.' The game handles the rest automatically. However, there are a few key things to keep in mind:

• The scroll *must* be a Wizard spell. No exceptions here!
• Copying a spell costs gold. This is a one-time fee, presumably for fancy inks and parchment. The higher the spell's level, the more gold it'll set you back.
• Once you copy a spell, the scroll is destroyed. So, you can't use it to cast the spell *and* learn it. Choose wisely!

It's a fantastic way to expand your magical capabilities, especially if you find a spell you really want but couldn't get otherwise. Just be mindful of the gold cost and the fact that the scroll will be gone forever after you learn the spell.
