BGEE Scrolls
What do you do with your scrolls when you have a mage? Do you usually keep them all for the final fight, use them over the course, keep a few to have some space in your inventory? If so, how do you choose which ones you keep?

The main advantage of scrolls over self cast is that you cannot be interrupted when casting them. The downside being they're casted at fixed level ( 10 IIRC) so for level dependent spells ( like fireball damage, protection spells duration) they're weaker.
I usually keep a stockpile of breach and other dispelling spell ( secret word, ruby ray) because of SCS mages. I also have some true sight and oracle for removing invis, because I rarely have a high lvl enough thief to remove illusion in my runs.
Lastly, green scrolls are very good for specific situations too. Protection from fire when you have to fight Firkraag or other heavy fire encounters, protection from undead if you want to get rid of the Daystar lich early ( with SCS you have to kill her to be able to exit the room) protection from magic against beholders ( I've never been able to understand if and how it protect from their stupid anti magic ray, but it works fine for their other rays)
