ESO How to use the Scribing Altar
After choosing your scripts, press the “Scribe” button to scribe your skill
From the Scribing menu, select the Grimoire you wish to craft as a Scribed Skill.
Choose the Focus, Signature, and Affix Script you want to use. You must choose one Focus, one Signature, and one Affix Script to craft a Scribed Skill. Note that not all Scripts are compatible with all Grimoires, and not all Scripts are compatible with each other.
Once the Grimoire has one of each Script type, Press R to craft your Scribed Skill. Luminous Ink will be consumed for each Script you add or change to your Scribed Skill. For example, three Luminous ink will be consumed the first time you Scribe a skill.
You can change the Scripts on a Scribed Skill as many times as you like, creating new versions of the skill for as long as you have enough Luminous Ink. Only Luminous Ink is consumed in crafting a Scribed Skill, Grimoires and Scripts are permanently unlocked and may be used as many times as you wish. Experiment as much as you like to find the right Scribed Skill for your build.
