DF Scroll Requirements?

[RobKamm]

I've been rereading the description of scrolls in DF4 and am not finding an explicit answer. Hopefully someone else here can point me in the right direction. I am trying to figure out if a caster needs to have the appropriate level of Magery/Power Investiture to cast a spell using a scroll. Unless it is universal they clearly need to have the Advantage, but it isn't clear (to me) that they need to have the appropriate level.

The closest I've found is:

[quote DF4:15]...one of three classes: clerical if it bears a clerical spell, druidic if it has a druidic spell, or wizardly if it casts a wizardly spell. It only works for casters of the correct type – the reader needs standard Power Investiture for a “good” clerical scroll, Power Investiture (Unholy) for an
evil one...[/quote]

I understand "standard power investiture" to mean the Power Investiture of good cleric, not necessarily stating anything about the standard use of that advantage. Thoughts?

From that reading I'd say you need the first level of the relevant casting talent only, be that Magery 0, PI, PI(Unholy), or PI(Nature) 1.

This makes sense, but what about Sages from DF5? Can they use their Wild Talent to fake such a scroll requirement? It sort of seems realistic that they should, but I can't see it in the game mechanics.

Wild talent has no advantages required enhancement. That's what it's for.
