Most scrolls contain powerful enchantments which, once read, countermand the effect of other magic. They function in the same way as the special cards from the magic card deck: dispels, destroy magic, etc. Once they have been used scrolls crumble away to nothing and cannot be used again. They are cheap but handy magic items which can give you a good reserve of Dispels.

A scroll can only be used by a wizard and not by a hero. In the case of a Skaven Warp Scroll it can be used by a Skaven Warlock or a Grey Seer.

Note that a Dispel scroll can be used by a wizard who has already attempted and failed a Dispel from the magic deck. Unlike a Dispel from the magic card deck, a Dispel scroll always works, so there is no need to roll a dice. A wizard may use a Dispel scroll before other Dispels are attempted, or after other Dispels have failed to work - it's entirely up to the player.
