Okay....I been brainstorming scrolls for a while and the BEST way i can think it can work is like this
The scribe ablity cost 4 spell slots to use and requires you to have a magic pen handy (There is ONE such pen in the whole game and lucky for you its on the wizard shuttle so one scribe per wizard round). Each spell takes a minute to write on a paper and the cooldown is 2-5 minutes long. Each scroll has 0-4 uses depending on RNG and is instant use. Now the main problem with most scrolls ideas on this fourm is that they expect all the spells that scribes can make are the regular wizard spells which are NOT balanced for scribing purposes except for simple ones like animate dead(This one is 100% more useful as a scroll then as a regular spell)
A few simple spells that MIGHT work for scribes but not a full/balanced list
The long cooldown and writing period means that wizards have to pick their scrolls wisely and use them in a efficent manner because they might never get a second chance to refill (And when they do they are vurnable to attack)

- Animate- Animates an object to attack people
- Heal-Heals a tiny bit
- Teleport- teleport scroll but without stuff like listening post or wizard shuttle
- Recharge-Recharges items in a 5x5 area
- Summon-This has a 10-30% chance of summoning a random player
- Summon horror-Has 90% chance to summon clown spiders and a 10% chance to summon mini machomen.
- Reinforce-Allows you to turn regular walls/tables/glass to reinforced stuff.
- Mutate-Activates a random mutaion(Wizard mutation is included in there)
- Emp-Do i have to explain?
