Printable Spell Scrolls V 1.1

My thanks to everyone that emailed suggestions on revising the originals.  The upper margin is now large enough to allow the printed scroll to be mounted on a dowel rod up to 3.8" in diameter.  The spell details were expanded to include all the information from the spell description, taken from the 5e Dungeons and Dragons SRD document.  If they're so inclined, that allows the player to add the page to a "spellbook" binder.

There was one question about why they're in black and white instead of having a parchment background.  Seems like a great idea, right?  The problem, and I speak from personal experience, is that color ink cartridges are expensive.  Any image with a detailed background absolutely guzzles down that sweet, sweet liquid gold you're forced to pay extortionate amounts of money for. It's far easier, and cheaper, to use commercial parchment paper (affiliate link) or tea stain your own.

The first picture is a mockup of how the scroll will look on parchment, the second is for Fireball, the third for Find Traps, and the fourth is a generic page you can fill in with your own spell details.  For that text I used Morris Roman, which you can download over here.

As always, your suggestions are welcomed.  Just leave a comment or find my email on the bio page.
