Scribe: Before printing came into common use, professional scribes created books by
copying manuscripts. Even after printing presses were in widespread use, scribes
were in demand for their calligraphy and the quality of their illuminated (or
illustrated) pages. A character with this proficiency is familiar with a
scribe’s techniques for preparing pages and working both swiftly and accurately. This
is an invaluable skill for a wizard; with a successful proficiency check, the
character gains a +5% bonus to any rolls he must make in order to copy or
transcribe a spell into his spell book or onto a scroll.
