Question about scrolls

[Koshimo]

Is there anything in the rules that prevents you from holding more then one scroll in your hand at a time?

At the end of the day they are pieces of paper that disappear upon use so could you have like a pile in your hand and not have to draw a new one each turn?

Alternatively is there anything against binding them into a book basically to the same purpose.

Obviously finding a specific spell (unless you purposely ordered them in a way would take an action)

But if you just wanted to keep casting the next spell in the pile could you do that?

Pretty sure a hand is considered full once it has something in it, and you need an empty hand to draw an item.

Scroll Statistics
Source Core Rulebook pg. 564
All scrolls have the same base statistics unless noted otherwise. A scroll has light Bulk, and it must be held in one hand to be activated.

It requires 1 hand to hold a single scroll. SO you could hold 2 scrolls if you have one in each hand: You can't hold multiple ones in hand or make a book. The way to have access to multiple spells without drawing every round, you have to get a staff.

Why can't I hold all these scrolls?

A thaumaturge could sort of hypothetically hold up to 2 with some multiclassing into magus to get scroll striker. A weapon implement could have a scroll attached to it along with one in your hand with scroll thaumaturgy. The attached scroll could only be used to spellstrike however.

Lets go further.

Scroll staff while wearing the new Librarian Robes. Regalia/weapon implement is a shield with the Inscribed Rune.

I guess nothing stops you from carrying them that way, but you wouldn't be able to use them like that.

Even if they were just nonmagical pieces of paper, if you carry a stack of papers in one hand can you just read off of whichever one you pick? The shuffling should probably take more actions than just drawing does.

I think this question is aimed at a stack of the same spell: for instance, 200 true strike scrolls so you could use one every single round of your life...

Ah. Hm.

At that point I'd say you're trying to get the best of both worlds.

Game rules say a scroll takes a hand, but real-world logic says you can carry more than that.
Game rules say you can read a scroll held in one hand, in combat and other dangerous, distracting situations, in just a few seconds. And activate its magic. Real-world logic says that sounds... difficult.

No fair choosing the most generous bit from each column and mixing them.
If you want to describe a character carrying a bunch of scrolls in their hands, fine. It wouldn't make any sense to say they can't when that's easy to do. But those aren't in a ready to use state until you grab one and hold it ready in one hand.

Using scrolls with your hands full is a feat for Thaumaturges (and I think jugglers?). It's possible but not trivially done.
