Like how do you make scrolls anyhow. Confused. Never had to do it to "beat" the game but now that I got time, really want to try and understand these things.

You need Crafting of 5 to craft cool stuff.
Blank scroll + Pixie Dust=Blank Magic Scroll
Blank Magic Scroll + Magic Ink & Quill=Spell Scroll
Blank Skill Book + Spell Scroll=Skill Book

Element essences you can just drag into weapons and armor to get additional effects, or to enhance existing ones. Same goes for ingridient gem stones, Tormented Souls etc.

At level 5 you can also start crafting good mage armor. You need to apply Pixie dust on Needle and Thread and combine it with cloth scraps to make mage robes.
