Scrollmaster Archetype, Cantrips, and Short Swords

[Warhaven]

The archetype says that cantrips and 1st level scrolls are treated as masterwork weapons, however, it doesn't say that scrolls have a minimum of 1 HP. So, as written, does this mean if I attempt to activate a cantrip scroll, it immediately crumbles to dust, having 0 HPs?

In addition, it says that the archetype is proficient in "this weapon." Does that mean they're proficient in short swords as the scroll blade acts like a short sword, or are they proficient in scroll blades specifically?

1. 0HP = destroyed. Don't use cantrip scrolls.
2. You are proficient in using scrolls as short swords. You are not proficient with short swords.

Thanks. Seems silly to mention cantrips becoming MW weapons when the scroll is destroyed the moment you activate the ability.

Indeed. It's basically like saying "Here's an ability you can't actually use."

Makes me think maybe there was supposed to be a 1HP minimum but it got left out by accident.
