(different speaker)There are numerous scrolls with different spells, although only 2 of the spells are known. The first was used in the novel CoH by Jaina Proudmoore, who cast a ward-penetration spell from the Meitre scrolls. She was taught the spell by Aegwynn, after they were trapped in the Bladescar Highlands by the minor demon Zmodlor's wards. The second was used by a student of Scavell, Falric. He turned a stone into gold, but it turned out to not be real,pure gold, but fool's gold. The other spells from the Meitre scrolls are unknown(for the time being).
