Allow lore buff spells to count for scroll use

Identify and legend lore allowing scroll use could add some interplay within the new lore based system.

An identify potion/spell is very short lived, but could with a small time delay allow the casting of a potent spell. It also telegraphs the move in a similar manner to a truestrike potion.

Legend lore is longer term but a lower lore boost (and requires a mage or bard to cast it on you for any serious effect, or Lore 25 for the scroll, which is CL 5 and thus grants a meagre +12 lore). It could even be added to the breach list to allow counterplay.

I think, if they became useful in this manner, both would likely need a distinctive visual tell in game, perhaps an excuse for a new VfX

This opens the door to some higher level spell use for mundanes once more without needing the practically unreachable lore 80 from skill rank and gear alone.
Characters: Izzy, short for Isabel. Shaena Ash.
