[i]Discover new ways to play with Scribing, arriving as part of The Elder Scrolls Online: Gold Road. [/i]
In [i]The Elder Scrolls Online: Gold Road [/i](arriving June 3 on PC/Mac and June 18 on Xbox and PlayStation consoles), you can unlock access to an all-new game system: Scribing. With Scribing, you can manipulate the nature of magic itself by collecting and customizing special skills, granting you even more ways to tailor specific builds and play your way.
Customize New Skills
When designing this new system, the team focused on improving opportunities for roleplay and choice for [i]ESO[/i]’s adventurers by providing greater agency when it comes to selecting and adapting the skills that are right for them. What exactly does this mean for you and your characters? Scribing introduces Grimoires, which are new types of skills for your existing skill lines. You can customize these Grimoires beyond their basic functions, transforming them into exactly what you want on your action bar. For example, one new Grimoire, called Soul Touch, allows you to pull soul magic from the core of your being and cast it at a nearby enemy or ally. You can customize Soul Touch by choosing its Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary Scripts. You could use the Primary to create a Damage Shield for an ally, pull an enemy to you, or even change it to Magic, Shock, or Physical Damage. In addition, you could use the Soul Infusion Secondary to enable the ability to consume a soul gem and gain Ultimate, or you can use a Recovery Secondary to regain resources for a targeted ally.

[i]Customize your Grimoires with Scripts[/i]
The above is just one example, but the Scribing system will give you a ton of new ways to change your build and playstyle, since you can unlock a host of Grimoires and Scripts at launch.
Explore the Origins of Magic
To master the art of Scribing you'll need the [i]Gold Road [/i]Chapter, which grants access to a brand-new questline. In this unique story, ancient magic arising in the world attracts the attention of the Mages Guild, who send one of their best to investigate. Working alongside a brave Knight of the Lamp, you'll discover a mysterious new location and altar and discover the secrets of the mage who built it. Throughout the questline, you'll learn how to scribe, gain a Grimoire or two, and meet new friends along the way.

Style Your Existing Skills, Too!
With the ability to mix and match a wide variety of classes, races, skills, and gear sets, [i]ESO[/i] has always striven to provide you with the freedom and power to customize your characters’ unique playstyles. In the spirit of this core pillar, [i]Gold Road[/i] also introduces a new type of collectible, called Skill Styles. Skill Styles are color variation of popular abilities from various weapon, guild, and world skill lines, helping you further stand out on the battlefield.
