From the Spell Scroll’s description on page 200 of the DMG: If the spell is on your class’s spell list but of a higher level than you can normally cast, you must make an ability check using your spellcasting ability to determine whether you cast it successfully. The DC equals 10 + spell’s level.
Are there any spells that can be cast at a higher level?
I think there are a lot of spells that, like Misty Step, could easily have expanded options for use in higher level slots.
What happens when a spell disappears from a scroll?
If the spell is on your class’s spell list but of a higher level than you can normally cast, you must make an ability check using your spellcasting ability to determine whether you cast it successfully. The DC equals 10 + spell’s level. On a failed check, the spell disappears from the scroll with no other effect.
What happens when you add a higher level spell slot?
If you added an extra 10 feet (or even 30 feet) for each spell level higher than 2nd, it would be a bonus action and an even higher level spell slot. Spell slots are limited resources, while a Rogue’s Cunning Action allows him to Dash literally every turn. Misty Step is way more than merely a bonus move (a Dash).
What happens if you lose a spell scroll?
If the casting is interrupted, the scroll is not lost. If the spell is on your class’s spell list but of a higher level than you can normally cast, you must make an ability check using your spellcasting ability to determine whether you cast it successfully. The DC equals 10 + the spell’s level.
What happens when you fail a spell check?
The DC equals 10 + the spell’s level. On a failed check, the spell disappears from the scroll with no oth er effect. However, I have always thought anyone could read a scroll. I guess we were both wrong.
Can a 4th level spell be cast on a scroll?
If they find a scroll for a 4th level spell, they can make a DC 14 Intelligence (Arcana) ability check to read the spell and cast it once, destroying the scroll. But they cannot successfully copy the spell into their spellbook until they can prepare 4th-level spells at level 7.
