Spell scrolls are magical items that use Mana to cast spells. Unlike runes, they disappear after a single use, but allow characters to cast spells they are not trained to use, and are generally more common. Anyone with sufficient Mana can cast a spell scroll. While most spell scrolls contain obtainable spells, some spells can only be found in scroll form, most prominently transformation magic in Gothic and Gothic II.
