Scroll Scholar

Prerequisite: Ability to cast at least one spell (Wizard Level 1 or Magic Initiate: Wizard feat)

You have a deep appreciation for the artistry that goes into the creation of spell scrolls. You have trained in the delicate and arcane art of preserving spell scrolls while casting from them. You gain the following benefits:

• Scroll Researcher: When attempting to identify a spell scroll, you do so with advantage.
• Careful Casting: When you cast a spell from a spell scroll, you may first use a bonus action to make the ink from the scroll from which you are casting become fresh so that the casting sigil may be transferred from the scroll upon the skin of the caster. Make a Sleight of Hand check (DC = 10 + the spell’s level). On a success, the scroll is preserved legibly enough to be copied into a spellbook (if normally allowed). On a failure, the spell scroll is rendered illegible.

This ability is not reliant upon successful casting of the spell, nor does a failure in this bonus action affect the casting of the spell in any way.
