Scrolls are basically one-shot items, and by themselves usually aren't that valuable. So either the Scroll recipes need to be seriously downgraded, or need to create large stacks of scrolls. Right now, the scroll recipes are just way off.
hmmm I'd say the biggest problem are those inkwells and quills. Ruined books are all over the place. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense that it takes that much dwarven metal to make an inkwell...
Awesome! - This is one of the best mods of it's type in terms of giving you a way to craft the raw materials themselves from random crap found lying around and has the right "feel"
My only problem right now is how few scrolls you get for your materials
For example a SINGLE scroll of blizzard requires: - 2 greater soul gems (~600 gold) - 3 inkwells <- 6 dwemer ingots <- 30lb's of dwarven metal - 2 quills? <- 2 feathers <- 2 very elusive creatures (hagraven, raven) - 6 rolls of paper <- 12 ruined books
All this shopping list (Which weighs about 50lb's!) creates *1* scroll, which by itself won't kill anything after level 20 in master difficulty. I'd politely suggest maybe crafting them in stacks of 10 after the effort required to gather all those materials.
So, is this version 1.02 (as it states in the description for the mod), v3 (as it states on the download description), or v1.2a (like the esp file says)? ::
Not sure if that is possible yet... I've been trying. Only reason is 'cause it doesn't have a Misc option. So even the original files don't got a Misc entry, unable to copy/paste. So it would be harder to find out which Entry allows you to make such a change.
- Replaced Charcoal with filled Soul Gems as part of the required materials to make Scrolls. This is balanced from Novice to Master. - Removed the hidden effect with most Misc items. Don't need one or more required items before seeing the Recipe.

Great mod though. I'm doing a full vanilla playthrough first though so I won't be endorsing this until I get around to playing with mods.
Hehe sorry. Not exactly the best way to put it eh.
But you got the right version if you downloaded v3.
I have yet to come up with a decent version scheme. First Mod really.
This definitely isn't endorsement ready. Maybe the 2nd mod I'm working on will be ">

Yeah I haven't found out how to use those tables. And looking at other mods, most haven't either.
Its because those tables don't got a built in Misc category. And coding one in may be hard without the Creation Kit.
As soon as I find out how, I def. will be using them instead of the Forge.
