I think you're really making it out to be harder than it is. I pretty much exclusively play Istar, and managing spell scrolls isn't hard at all. It's only very slightly a pain to remake codices if I lose one when I die, but I spend a pretty decent amount of money making sure I have backups of every spell I use.

I have a much, much harder time just trying to actually level up and make progress. I die so much that i can't even make it back up to level 31 again

It's because you started recently and didn't get bored with refilling/rechecking all spells after each death; or maybe just cause we got different personalities; people all different, so it could be ok for you, but hell for me. I just say what do I feel after 2+ years of playing TomeNET and ~20 years of playing other online RPGs - spell scrolls tier system is very far away from beign comfortable for regular players, especially if you played other classes before (melee, archer, druid & etc).

After a while you would remember 30+lvls with joy :) Real hell starts after 45+ :twisted: But actully for istar it's harder to play at earlier lvls. Maybe if you would change class, you could get much higher after having current hard times.

Another thing which could help and which is easy to implement - drammatically reduce waiting time for spell scrolls 'o'rders. Make it alsmost instant to appear, it would make life a bit easier

And.. it's asked by players for a looong time - make it possible to remove spell scrolls from books. So it would be much easier to perform 'spell management'

I like the idea of spell scrolls being needed for spellcasting, but I do wish that you could cast lower level spells from a high-level scroll. IE, you only have Manathrust III but you can still cast Manathrust I or Manathrust II.
