These dangerous constructs can be made by wizards with plentiful libraries, or occasionally self-animate if too many spell scrolls are left together for too long.
Their structure is formed of hundreds of spell scrolls, held together by their own magical force. They can summon up bolts of raw evocation energy to hurl at those who threaten them, and are guarded by shimmering fields of abjuration.

It is remarkably resilient, but vulnerable to mundane flames, although the risk of destroying the knowledge that makes up such a creature, as well as the collateral damage to its surrounds, often preclude this as an option. Elemental Bolt (Su): as a Standard Action, a Scrollemental may fire a bolt of surging evocation energy. This bolt requires a ranged touch attack to hit, and inflicts Force damage.
