Yesterday playing with my group we came across a debate about the possibility to create a scroll using as spell source another magic item found during the daily adventure so that I, the wizard, can learn the spell so written on the scroll and add it to my spellbook.
Established that I can do the very last part of the above process, add a spell to my spellbook from a scroll:
Core Rulebook page 219 wrote:
Spells Copied from Another's Spellbook or a Scroll: A wizard can also add a spell to his book whenever he encounters one on a magic scroll or in another wizard's spellbook.
the following sentence in Magic Item Creation
Core Rulebook page 549 wrote:
Note that all items have prerequisites in their descriptions.
These prerequisites must be met for the item to be created. Most of the time, they take the form of spells that must be known by the item’s creator (although access through another magic item or spellcaster is allowed).
arose some questions:
1. can I write a scroll of a spell using a wand or a stave of the same spell (wand of magic missile)?
2. can I write a scroll of a spell using another magic item that when activated gives the benefit of the same spell (Ring of Invisibility)?
3. if yes for #2, can I write a scroll of a spell using another magic item that when activated generates a custom effect of the same spell (Ring of Force Shield)?
4. can I write a scroll using another magic item that doesn't need to be activated for give to the wearer the benefits of the same spell, even if custom (Bracers of Armor)?
5. if another magic item, again having in mind the difference between the ones that need to be activated and the ones that give a passive bonus/ability, has more then one spell in the requisites needed for create it, can I write a scroll of all the spells needed for create it (Hand of Glory)?
Thank you in advance for yout replies!
