This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

2e does it the right way. Spells on scrolls are cast at the level of the wizard when writing the scroll. It's a nightmare to keep track of if the PCs start writing them but a great tool for balancing and story telling.
It works sort of this way in D&D too (and I suspect Pathfinder 1e since it's just D&D slightly modified).
The thing is the scroll's cost is based on its spell level x caster level. Usually you craft the scroll at minimum caster level for that spell, but they can be made up to the crafter's caster level. It just increases the price...a lot.
More importantly, the spell DC straight up just uses the casters at the time of casting. Fireballs will get pricy when you're keeping them heightened but they wont let you down by default
