Most of what I have found deals with READING a scroll.

I am playing a Medium (6th level) and let's say I am channeling the Hierophant (cleric) spirit which provides me access to Cure Light Wounds. Your healing spells and abilities heal an additional 2 points of damage to each target.

When creating a scroll (NOT USING ONE) I am certain metamagic feat(s) can be added so let's go with EMPOWER.

When creating the CLW scroll it is "just as if the spell had been cast", "spell slot is expended", and "components disappear".

By my estimation, I should be able to add the Empower AND the +2 (+3 from Empower) from my channeled spirit.

I have not been able to find a FAQ or actual response from James Jacobs, Sean K. Reynolds (have searched 'SCROLL' on every one of their posts), or anyone else for that matter to indicate this is not the case.

There have been references to such information i.e. "Jason says you cannot do that" OR James or Sean said "feats, class features and so on that affect the level adjustment of metamagic feats do not apply when crafting wands, scrolls, potions" Not applicable to my case but you get the idea.

To sum up - WHY can I not add feats (augment summoning/spell penetration) or class abilities (+2 to all healing spells) when creating a scroll? Is there an actual ruling that I have just been unable to uncover? Anything definitive?

Sorry for the long post...

Why is the 'no save' added to weapon description when the dimensional anchor spell itself has NO save already? Is it because it's an 'area' effect rather than a 'ray'?

Does the exclusion of any SR mention mean anything?

If demon SR is NOT overcome are they able to gate in reinforcements or does the SR roll take place for every attempt?

When a Medium channels a Haunt - does the character maintain the abilities of the Spirit it has channeled for the day?

If so - Is the Haunt able to use those powers when possessing the body of the character OR does it have it's own abilities...replacing the Spirit?

We've just started a new campaign using the Occult book and I am not allowed to look up what a Haunt can do...1st level and all.

I will be playing a Medium. I have a pretty good grasp on the multitude of powers, except the Haunt Channeler ability. I figure I can ask questions about the ability since it is part of my character.

After the medium funnels the Haunt completely they "suffer the Haunt's full effect"
How dangerous can this become?
What would be the purpose of allowing a Haunt to take control of one's body?
Does the Medium gain any additional information about the Haunt?

The Medium then gets a save every minute to expel the Haunt.
Should the Haunt be expelled - what happens to it?
Does it go on it's merry way?
Is it destroyed?

Lastly - The VAST majority of posts I have read are of the opinion that the Medium is a pretty useless class...no need to re-litigate that here please...so Challenge Accepted.
