My character previously decided that since they were using scrolls on us, that we'd return the favor. I think I've also had word of auto-firing scrolls, too.

But, also, I generally work on the assumption that my character knows how the world works, to a certain extent, and thus has some IC justification for how ooc mechanics govern their life. Various other people have put forward the same theory to different extents.

yes, but this is a case of chars knowing why this invasion is happening, and what the objective is. don't think it fits your reasoning.

as for scrolls being more powerful now, I'm sure I can RP something about that easily enough

Who cares. There are monsters to fight! No time for trying to figure out why they are coming after you! You can make your own RP :)

no the point was, "How do I know they only want x% of the island and if I just go launch all my scrolls in City Y they'll let us be"

You're asking the wrong questions.

Why can't we burn scrolls? These bundles of heresy bring nothing but trouble

Because then every realm would burn them as a matter of course, and we wouldn't have an arms race going on between invasions.

I'm NOT asking those questions. I don't have any reasons to ask those questions. I'm asking things based on my previous in-game experiences.

These are the Dark Ages. Our chars don't walk around free-thinking ideas

I don't think advies find these. They mostly are handed directly to lords via a "we executed a witch in your region, and she had this" game event.

When you meet a sage, they can sometimes makea  scroll for you as well. Depending on the sage I think (still new to this advy game). My advy has a fountain of youth scroll because of that, but the monster/undead summoning scrolls are an exception and send to the Lords right away from what I've seen.

Actually, those aren't sages, but wizards. They're separate, and actually noted as such in the game's text, though not, I admit, terribly prominently.

However, I think wizards can't make summon scrolls.

Ah, true! So Wizards make scrolls and Sages make/repair uniques?

To add, the Wizard gave me an option actually for 2 different scrolls and had to choose which one to make.

There's one more thing sages can do with uniques...

Actually, I'm about 99% sure that wizards do get the option to create Summoning scrolls, along with the others. At least, I've seen the option to create Summoning scrolls with some traveller, somewhere, with my advies.

What else can they do? Or do you mean destroy?

Well he ultimately only made one, but at least I could choose :-)

Nah, anyone can do that. Just sit on it for a while without repairing.
