I was wondering if Spell Kenning allows the Skald to write scrolls of the spells he casts with it. The rules for item creation say:
"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). The DC to create a magic item increases by +5 for each prerequisite the caster does not meet. The only exception to this is the requisite item creation feat, which is mandatory. In addition, you cannot create potions, spell-trigger, or spell-completion magic items without meeting their spell prerequisites."
Scrolls are spell completion items, so you have to meet the spell prerequisite. The rules say you can meet the prerequisite via a magic item or another spellcaster. It sounds like casting the spell from a scroll would work fine for that since a scroll would fall under "another magic item". I'm not sure if a Skald casting the spell via Spell Kenning would count though since it isn't clear if it is the spellcaster casting the spell which meets the prerequisite or the spellcaster knowing the spell (though he or she would still need to cast it too)
If casting a spell via scroll without knowing it works then maybe casting a spell via Spell Kenning without knowing it would work too. On the other hand, maybe it wouldn't since Spell Kenning isn't a "magic item"...not sure...
