Mage scrolls and Comprehension in WoW Forever

Mages in World of Warcraft: Forever can decipher scrolls that drop from monsters, for buffs, weapon effects and even damage. This guide covers Comprehend Scroll, the Comprehension skill, Study for scrolls from a library, and all 28 scrolls by tier.

Spell	Comprehend Scroll, from the Mage trainer at level 6
Skill	Comprehension, up to 5 times your level (300 at 60)
Extra scrolls	Study with a Light Feather, once an hour in a library
Tiers	4, from skill 1, 15, 50 and 175

Comprehension

At level 6 the Mage trainer teaches Comprehend Scroll. That unlocks Comprehension, a skill that works like a profession and goes up to 300. Your skill can never be higher than 5 times your level, so 300 only comes at level 60.

Scrolls drop from monsters for every class, in different kinds depending on the level of the monster. Until you decipher them they carry strange names, so you cannot tell what they do. Deciphered, any Mage can use them, and some sell on the Auction House.

Watch your bags: deciphered scrolls stack up to 5 of a kind, but every undeciphered scroll takes its own slot, even with the same name.

Study: scrolls from a library

Mages have a second way to get scrolls. The first library book you hand in gives the Research skill and the spell Study. For the Alliance one lies in the Hall of Explorers in Ironforge, for the Horde in the Valley of Spirits in Orgrimmar. You bring it to Garion Wendell in Stormwind or Owen Thadd in Undercity.

Study takes a Light Feather and a 6-second cast, and has a 1-hour cooldown. It only works in a library, and gives a Bundle of Scrolls with usually 2 to 4 deciphered scrolls. Not every set of bookshelves counts as a library. These spots work:

• the Mage Tower in Stormwind
• the Royal Library in Stormwind Keep
• the Magic Quarter of Undercity
• the Great Library of Dalaran
