Noob questions : Scribing + Writ Vouchers

Hey guys !

I started a new character from scratch to get back in the game, and it's so great I just can't get enough of ESO now ;)
So here are my questions, any help would be great :

- I'm doing the Scribing questline, I got my first Scribe Skill called Magical Soul, but it doesn't seem to level up like the other Skills ? The blue bar is at its maximum, but it doesn't switch to "Magical Soul II" or anything ... am I missing something somewhere ?

- Sometimes I receive "Writ Vouchers", but ... what do I do with them ? Where do I go to spend them ?

Thanks everyone !

    Scribed skills do not level as there's no progression system for them. You tailor them to your preferences by selecting the Affix/Signature/Focus scripts. You can change those scripts at any time.

    Writ Vouchers are given for completing Master Writs. When you visit Rollis Hlaalu or Faustina Curi, outside Mournhold/Wayrest/Elden Root, they sell products in exchange for writ vouchers.

    Oh thanks for the fast answers !

    So my Magical Soul skill will never do more damage or anything ? I mean, if I keep my current configuration for this Skill, it will always stay like this ? Because we only got a minimal number of Skills we can use (which is not a bad thing, even if I could have used maybe 1 or 2 more for variety), we have to choose them carefully ;)

    Great to know about Rollis or Faustina, I'm gonna log in and go visit them, thanks !

    That's correct that it won't level up to be different. You change it yourself to do different things based on the scripts you put in it. Example. Banner bearer. I can change between different kinds of base damage. Shock, magic etc. I can make the middle script different things, cavaliers charge for example gives me weapon and spell damage for my movement speed buffs, up to 300. My last script can give many different buffs. Intellect and intelligence, sorcery and prophecy etc.

    Master writ voucher venders are great. They have amazing furnishing plans and other stuff.

    So those Skills are actually worth it, if you find the right configuration then ?
    But do you keep only one of those Scribed Skills on your hotbar, or do you use a few of them instead of your normal Class Skills ?

    To be honest I hardly ever die, except maybe against very powerful bosses, but I'm always trying to find the most efficient build ;)

    It all depends on your build. I believe you can use a bunch. Though some are weapon specific. Some depend on how you build them. Ulfsilds contingency can be a heal with the heal script. I use it on a build for damage with a flame script. It's all in how you make them. Do dailies to get scripts. Collect a bunch and go wild. Id check out a guide video. Ninja pulls has one that's great as fo many creators. Also at mages guilds across the world, there is a free script in each one.

    Scribed skills don't morph, so they only have one "level." If you want them to do something different, then you rescribe them with different Focus, Signature, and/or Affix scripts. Otherwise, they're just as you made them.
    I'm fresh out of outrage, but I could muster up some amused annoyance if required.
