I just tried the Magic Academy option.

The scrolls are selected from the high end, but you only get 3 from each school. If you are unlucky you can miss the one you eagerly await.

The runes are pretty nice.

Too bad Queen Violetta won't give you 30 runes of your choice. I'm buried in Mind Runes, but I'm dying for Magic Runes. Ah, well!
:rolleyes:

Magic Academy option
 

If U r leading necro army it's the best option since U get Necro Call. Resurrection scrolls is also given so if U have enough mana it's the point from where U can nicely minimize the losses in battle.

Umm... Necro call is one of the spells you are guaranteed to get, for free even, during the game. A simple "use" of the chronicles of the lost town quest item from one of the early game quests grants the spell. Plus, I'm pretty sure that the magic academy doesn't give you the same spells each game...
