10-24-05, 12:36 PM When I saw it, I was hopeful, but after reading it ... I agree with your assessment. Pure Artificers have zero use for this card.

It affects arcane and divine caster scrolls and psionic power stones.

Unfortunately, artificers are none of those.

10-25-05, 10:40 AM I don't see why Artificers couldn't use this card. The card specifies Arcane and Divine SCROLLS, not casters. Since Artificers cast scrolls through UMD, I don't see why they couldn't use this card for any scroll, as long as they change it to a spell that is either arcane or divine that also appears on their spell list.

Personally, As it stands I think the card is unuseable by Artificers, howerever I would look at allowing an artificer or anyone else with UMD to exchange the original scroll for scrolls from the spell list the scroll originally came from. Scroll of Magic Missile? Use to exchange it for Sorcerer/Wizards spells.

Only problem comes with spells that are on multiple spell list. If the character hasn't specified in advance what list his cure light comes from, he could exchange it for Druid or Cleric spells (assuming like I do you make the characters specify whether their spells are arcane or divine, and thus couldn't be a bard scroll)
