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

Re: [impression] Magic tier system (bound to spell scrolls)
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+ 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.

Re: [impression] Magic tier system (bound to spell scrolls)
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'

Re: [impression] Magic tier system (bound to spell scrolls)
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.

Devs made it easier a bit - new inscription @@ works at books too, so it's easier now to manage spells Thanks!
