 Single-use scrolls are almost always paper, and spellbook pages are almost always either copper or silver. There are niche applications for scrolls of other materials, but these are rare. Single-use scrolls are almost always paper, and spellbook pages are almost always either copper or silver.

-These numbers are not absolute, but they are general guidelines for the efficacy of different media in scroll creation. The multiplier describes the amount of potentia required to imbue a scroll as opposed to casting the spell immediately. The potentia limit describes how powerful the spell contained in such a scroll may be. The expected uses describes how many times the same scroll is expected to refill itself given adequate leyline coverage (not counting the initial use).+These numbers are not absolute, but they are general guidelines for the efficacy of different media in scroll creation.

 +In theory, any material can be used as a spell scroll medium, but these are the only materials common enough to be noteworthy.
  
 Of these materials, paper is especially notable for its extremely high potentia limit per gram relative to its abundance and ease of imbuing. As it has a nearly perfect 1:1 ratio compared to casting the spell manually, as well as a respectable refill rate, it is almost always more efficient to imbue a spell scroll rather than waiting for the right moment to cast the spell, considering in many cases, this allows you to gain an extra cast "for free" if in an area with good leyline coverage. Of these materials, paper is especially notable for its extremely high potentia limit per gram relative to its abundance and ease of imbuing.
