Scroll of Recall
“Teleports you and your party to a nearby town.”― In-game text
Background
This is one of the most powerful magic scrolls that can be used by non-magic users. The magic will transport you to the safety of the nearest town. (Regardless of whether the nearest town is, in fact, safe.) You must recite all of the words on the scroll before the magic takes effect. This could be a problem if your character is in a very desperate situation with very little time available. It could also be a problem if your character cannot move due to being a victim of a stun attack or a paralysis attack.
There are a few areas in the game where Recall is not possible (all of them dungeons; Recall always works in the Outdoors). In these areas, you would take the time to cast the scroll, use it up, and then be told "Spell Failed". This can be a huge bummer, so be aware before you go. Mostly, those dungeons are those pertaining directly to the "story" quests, ones having to do with the final quests for each companion, and the endgame challenge quests. Specifically, those areas include:
- New Garand Sewers
- Unknown Dungeon
- Jabal Grotto
- Golden Cove Bank
- Cave of Echoes
- The Observatory
- Castle Storme
- Temple of Blood
- Forbidden Pit
- Sunken Citadel
- Temple of the Sleepers
- Ark of Lothasan (Upper Deck) (but you can from other parts of the Ark)
- Sewer of Horrors
- Icemist Underlevels
- Elemental Plane of Fire
(Also does not work if you're already in a city, since what would it do? And likewise for any Building within a city, including guild houses, Magistrate Steinz's House, Greyrune Manor, and of course the Freetown Arena.)
This is a Common item, a frequent drop or obtainable from merchants.

Notes
One merchant once offered a guarantee. "Your gold cheerfully refunded if the Scroll of Recall does not work for you in a life-or-death situation." For obvious reasons, no one was able to collect on that guarantee. The merchant disappeared under mysterious circumstances, and no other merchant has since offered the same guarantee.
