Questions about this table

How do I determine the spell level of a generated scroll?

The table focuses on descriptive flavor rather than mechanical balance. Assign a spell level appropriate to your party's tier of play, or roll a separate die to randomize it. Low-level scrolls might contain a single common spell, while high-level results could hold rare or legendary magic.

Can these results work for non-magical books too?

Yes. A result can be a journal, history, bestiary, reference work, or other ordinary book if the scene does not need a spell or enchantment.
