Correct. I don't mind losing exp for scroll failure (and getting 
confused / losing charisma), but losing xp in the wrong skill is weird :-)
Besides the loss isn't that great, around 200 points only, doesn't 
matter (i wrote like 50 scrolls & lost what? 20k xp? not a big deal for 
a >40 char)

I think inscription is currently attached to mental...

I think that would slightly change the balance of the game... for 
instance, right now you can't write scrolls of healing, meaning you have 
to either find potions or use the prayer.... and regenerate grace.
If we could write those spells, we'd make 100 scrolls, thus it'd be 
easier to heal. Maybe not an issue if you have a lot of healing potions 
in any case, but still...
