- - Level 13: We pick up Use Magic Device, which allows us to read scrolls without the spellcraft skill.  Experiment using the ones you find as random drops, and learn where the magic shops are so you can purchase scrolls when you need them.  Pick up a scroll case so you can carry many scrolls without taking up your entire inventory.  Useful scrolls are also available at the thief guild fences, so be sure to build up some account balances by fencing items and laundering gold.  Spells set their caster level to your thief level when you pick them up, so you'll want to update them from time to time as you advance.  FYI, unless you advance levels before using them, you will need an int modifier of 1 less than the spell level on the scroll to cast them without fail.  See help magical devices for more details.\\+ - Level 13: We pick up Use Magic Device, which allows us to read scrolls without the spellcraft skill.  Experiment using the ones you find as random drops, and learn where the magic shops are so you can purchase scrolls when you need them.  Pick up a scroll case so you can carry many scrolls without taking up your entire inventory.  Useful scrolls are also available at the thief guild fences, so be sure to build up some account balances by fencing items and laundering gold.  Spells set their caster level to your thief level when you pick them up, so you'll want to update them from time to time as you advance.  FYI, unless you advance levels before using them, you will need an int modifier of 1 less than the spell level on the scroll to cast them without fail.  See help [[magical devices]] for more details.\\
