Also, notably, the spell scrolls were changed and – since CoE 4.24 – now come with a 10% chance of misfiring when used, sending the spell-caster off to some miserable plane of existence and usually a quick death. (As to the exact destination plane, I’m not entirely sure, but it seems the spell-caster most often simply goes to hell, i.e. Inferno – possibly 50% of the times – and otherwise goes to either Hades or the Void. Not that it matter much as, again, he/she will most likely soon just die either way.)
I’m not sure how I feel about that change as it seems to make spell scrolls more or less useless to me. (How often would you really risk a 10% chance of losing your precious spell-caster entirely, just for the sake of having him/her learn a measly extra spell?)
There are a few situations in which I could see it being worth the risk, but certainly that means I won't use them on my primary commander if I find one early on. The main use I see for them would thus be on relatively expendable second-level mages with poor spell selections from otherwise potent schools of magic - like a spare Necromancer with only Disease- and weakness-causing spells, or an Archbishop that lacks Mass Conversion.
A secondary use would be on mages where you might not mind if they were sent off to another plane - such as the High Priestess' Malik or Ba'al himself (if they had a fire-immunity granting item, anyway), who might actually be tough enough to single-handedly establish a foothold in those other planes. And if they fail to vanish that's not a problem. That's very much an edge case, of course.
