That's correct, Mad... you have to make a skill check using your casting ability to attempt to use a scroll if it's of a level higher than you can cast; the dc is 10 plus the level of the spell - so in your example, the wizard can't access 3rd level spells yet, and would need to roll a d20 plus their Int modifier, aiming to meet or beat a DC of 13. If they fail, the scroll is still destroyed, so it's risky.
