There's a dialogue option with the crow that brings up a list of scrolls you have that he doesn't know yet. Teaching him the spell removes the Wanderer Scroll.

In your case, he won't learn Call Colossus until you find another one and show him that.

@tiberiu: Nope. You only have to tell him to start writing, and then he will take crystals from you. After a few battles, the scroll will show up in your spellbook WITHOUT any notification, which is really, really annoying.

@nevar I blame the poor translation because I swear the crow tells you if you wade through and read the like 10pages of pointless dialogue the crow has that any scroll you've used he learns... or something? maybe I'm wrong? but even if I'm wrong it's still not worded clearly enough for me to get it (although I assume it's perfectly clear in russian)

I am pretty sure that I had to ask him again in order to give me the scroll. Perhaps because when I first talked to him, i had less then 5 crystals? And he started to learn it but wouldn't give unless I made the 5 crystals and talk to him again.

@namad: Not the case. I think it's the dialogue option "Look, Rind, If I don't have a scroll, would you write one for me?" at which point he scans your spellbook for wanderer scrolls he can't make yet.

@tiberiu: I wouldn't know. I always have more than 50 crystals on me.

You have to give him one scroll so that he can learn it. Once he learned how to write a particular scroll, you can ask him to write one for you, which requires 5 crystals, and after a few battles it shows up in your spellbook without notification. He can only write one scroll at a time, and the procedure is repeatable (he only needs to learn it once).

At least, that's the way it worked for me, seemed perfectly fine except for the missing notifications (5 crystals taken, and scroll finished).

Seems like we have it figured out. I'm going to add lack of notification to the bugs thread, I would not have wasted 5 crystals on gift of stone if I'd known that, I was saving up for Crystal Collector.
