At 5th level, when using a 3rd-level or higher Wizard scroll as a scroll shield, the scrollmaster can choose to reduce its enhancement bonus (to a minimum of a +1 enhancement bonus) to give it any of the following shield properties: ghost touch, light fortification, moderate fortification. Adding any of these properties consumes an amount of bonus equal to the property’s cost. The scrollmaster must know the prerequisite spell or spells to craft the shield property in question (for example, he must know limited wish to be able to give his scroll shield the fortification property).
Ghost Touch armor is a +3 bonus, so 8th level spell scroll.
Light Fortification requires a limited wish - 7th level spell.
Which means you need to be 13th level to use the ability / know the spell.
Or can you KNOW it, but not be able to CAST it?
Likewise, Ghost Touch for armor requires an Etherealness spell... level 9. So you need to be 17th level to use a scroll like that... what, perceptively, allows ANY 5th level character to use anything from the 5th level notes on the ability?
Can't be used until 13th and 17th level is not a LEVEL 5 ability...

I think to know it in that sense it needs to be in your spellbook, transcribed by you. Not in a borrowed spellbook which you have to make a spellcraft check to prepare spells from each time, not on a scroll alone either.
It only requires the spells not other prereqs. Ghost touch requires etherealness, fortification requires limited wish. You could add these to your spellbook before you can cast high level spells I guess, but it's likely a case of the designer not thinking this through well.
