Bard Question
In short, I have a bard player that wants to make scroll with Annotate Composition. It says he can use either fortissimo/lingering composition to modify the annotated composition.
He basically wants to know if he can:
1. Make a scroll of Courageous Anthem + Lingering Composition.
2. Use Fortissimo Composition then cast from the scroll himself.
Basically making it Courageous Anthem + Lingering Composition + Fortissimo Composition
To be clear, we're pretty sure this doesn't work because "reasons", but we don't fully understand those reasons. Rules Discord gave us these reasons but couldn't give in depth details.
Reason 1: "Can't have 2 spellshapes affecting the same spell." Spellshape rules says you lose the action if you don't immediately cast a spell there-after, not that you necessarily cannot have 2 spellshapes affecting 1 spell.
Reason 2: "Using the annotate scroll item isn't casting a spell, so you can't spellshape it." But it says "This produces the effects of the composition as though the activating creature had Cast the Spell." It even capitalizes the Cast a Spell part. Isn't that considered casting a spell?
Regardless we aren't allowing it, we just want to understand why we couldn't if we tried. This is more about learning, not power-gaming.
Any help understanding is greatly appreciated, please and thank you!
