Scribing updates?

I've been wondering if there are any plans on expanding the Scribing system, or is it set in stone.
While I don't expect Focus, Affix, and Suffix to expand (Focus being expanded onto skills that miss them, with new visuals), it would be nice to have more spells to scribe.

Should I abandon all hope of that happening or is this something you can reasonably look forward to?

    I'm pretty sure they will add new Scribing skills, just like they've added new Mythics and ToT Decks. When and how many get added at a time though is up to ZOS to decide.

    They just added a new scribing skill (banner bearer) in the last major update so I'd expect they will continue to add more in the future.

    How about we just speed up the use of scribing. It takes too long to cast those skills. I don't even mess with them because it takes forever to use.

    I believe they also said that they would add additional similar systems in the future? I'd be down for Scribing 2, or for a different way to "craft" or customize skills.

    I'd also be excited for customizable class skills, or extra class skill morphs (more than 2 options).

    Only the staff is used for a long time, and in fact, casting for a long time has a good effect. This dilutes the gameplay.

    I hope so, I'm loving how much flexibility it gives me to do like a ranged pyromancer dragonknight build. If I just had class skills, the only Ardent Flame ability with long range is 15m... And I love stone giant on the ranged build, I just can't use only it since it costs a lot of stamina and I'm a magicka build (really wish they would make stone giant cost less or at least be able to proc Helping Hands passive)..

    Anyway, really hope they add skill styles for each grimoire too!

    Scribing will be regularly expanded. New grimoires will be added with base game updates, just like in U44.

    The interesting part is, if they will add additional functionality.
    I, for example, find it irritating, that I cannot change the ressource cost at will. This would be much better for finetuning sustain.
    It would also kind of alleviate the other major restriction we face with certain grimoires not supporting certain affixes and signatures.
    If anyone here says: OH! But, PVP! I swear I'll ...

    Thank you for the valuable input and respectfully recommend to discuss that aspect of ESO on the PVP forum.

    In addition to the new grimoires, I would like them to change the way they obtain grimoires. But I wrote more about this in my post.

    Customizing class skills would be awesome. Scrbing has been very useful to my one bar builds since they lacked debuffs.

    Good heavens, I'd love to have such functionality.

    There are damage types like Disease, Bleed, and Poison that turn the skills into Stamina abilities.
    Only Bloody Contingency doesn't turn into Stamina ability. I was susprised to see Bleed Focus avaiable for this skill and still remain Magica.

    It was annoying enough for me to make Blood Soul and Blood Burst for my Nightblade (suits him really well), and switch his build to Stamina, but he was a DPS anyway so I somehow managed to do so.

    I'd love to have not only a Poison Soul, or Poison Burst, and Poison Explosion for my Warden.
    And those scaling off Magicka.

    I'd ask for nothing else for 3 years if I got those.
