Notes

Reading this scroll summons a unique Quasit familiar named Shovel and begins a dialogue interaction with her.

Some characters can use this dialogue to learn the ability to summon her once per Short Rest as a ritual (via Find Familiar: Cheeky Quasit). The following classes and races produce successful results. The list may not be exhaustive:
- Draconic Bloodline Sorcerer
- Warlock
- Wizard
- Dragonborn
- How to:
  - Asking about her name, and picking "Shovel is fine" seems to be the key dialogue option. Other choices at this stage seem to prevent the talking party member from learning the spell.
  - Subsequent responses don't seem to matter.
  - She always brings up Necromancy of Thay and closes the dialogue.
  - Ensure that the talking party member has interacted with "the book" and then talk to the familiar again. It is not necessary to open the book yet, as long as the book has been interacted with and obtained.
  - If all prerequisites were met, the familiar responds with a line starting with Oh, oh, a spell shite!, and at this point, the party member obtains the summoning spell.
  - If the familiar gets stuck on See. Tell you truth, beefy. and the summoning spell has not been obtained, some of the prerequisites may not have been met. However, it is possible in some circumstances to reset the dialogue. For instance, by 'advancing the adventure' when traveling to the mountain pass region for the first time and then speaking to Shovel with another character.
  - Draconic Bloodline Sorcerers have an option to try to deceive Shovel that they are actually a dragon in disguise. This leads to some amusing dialogue with her but doesn't seem to lead to learning the summoning spell. However, choosing either of the other subclass-specific dialogue options does.
  - The option Leave, always locks the party out of the dialogue.
  - The dialogue does not work if being disguised.
  - The order of reading the book and/or interacting with the familiar doesn't seem to matter. One may summon the familiar before entering the laboratory and finding the book, or find and read the book before summoning the familiar, and still obtain the summoning spell.
  - The character level doesn't seem to matter. One may obtain and read Necromancy of Thay, briefly respec via Withers into any class listed above at level 1, obtain the summoning spell, then respec back. When learned this way, the spell is categorized as "common" / "racial", and persists when changing the class via Withers. Beware that respeccing unsummons the familiar, and must be done before summoning the familiar or after exhausting its dialogue and learning the summon.
Alternatively, Wizards can scribe the scroll to their spellbook to gain the Find Familiar: Cheeky Quasit spell. When learned this way, the spell is categorized under "Wizard", and becomes unavailable when changing the class via Withers.
As is mentioned on Shovel's character page, she is afraid of Storm and Wild Magic Sorcerer's, and speaking with her as a character with levels in those classes will trigger a unique dialogue which prevents that character from being able to learn the spell. This can be circumvented by having that character cast Disguise Self prior to using the summoning scroll for the first time. After speaking with Shovel, it is possible to dismiss the disguise and then pass through the magic mirror. The party member can then speak to Shovel again and should be able to learn the spell as described above.
