Shield of the Scholar

Adds +3 to AC and wielder may cast a scroll as a Free Action. The AC bonus is constant, but the scroll effect is only usable once per room.

As an example, when used in conjunction with Widseth’s Mystical Lute, this shield allows a bard to perform bardsong, cast a scroll, and attack with a weapon–all in one round. But remember, the ability to cast a scroll as a Free Action effect is only usable once per room.

Universal Rule Regarding Spells “Cast as a Scroll”
When reading how some tokens function, you may occasionally run into the phrase “cast as a scroll” or sometimes just “as a scroll.” That phrase means the Spell being cast is not subject to modification. It cannot be duplicated, enhanced, and is not subject to a skill check. We use the phrase “cast as a scroll” because there simply isn’t enough room on a token to print all those restrictions out. A Spell that is “cast as a scroll” is not a scroll and cannot trigger effects that require an actual scroll to trigger and does not benefit from scroll bonuses.
