Hm... havenīt really donīt this for quite a while (it doesnīt make sense).
IIRC you have to have the spell active (i.e. "cast something"), mark the
scroll and then "use skill inscription".

Transfer mana to another player.

Cancels (some) spells. IIRC this is level-dependent (so a low-level
counterspell canīt cancel a highlevel dragonbreath)

Not sure. No effect. I think it is supposed to put all your items back
to "+0" or something like that. Hope that it is never implemented that
way, since it makes all your armor useless (it probably keeps the weight
and just looses the plusses...).

> 5.) restoration

There seem to be at least two kinds of that:
- potion of restoration -> undoes depletion
- golden unicorn horn -> restores HP and food to max

I seem to remember a "restoration" spell (I donīt have crossfire anymore,
unfortunately). Thatīs another no-op (no-op == has no effect or is
completely useless).
