I think you have power scrolls confused with Skill scrolls ... yes there are magery skill scrolls .. but there are no magery power scrolls or anything to increase magery past 100.
archery - pvp - moving shot

imo any change that makes them a better choice than the heavy xbow is a mistake... bow and heavy xbow have always been the better choices and it is what people expect to see when they log into UO. making them one handed wouldn't change much with pvp but it would no longer be a worthless weapon choice and would be used alot more in pvm (would be pretty effective with tread/doublestrike/phase shift relics)

I disagree, instahit if added properly will be much more balanced than the current meta.

so you agree endless kiting is a problem so why would you want to add to the endless running that is uof pvp? the only cc right now is parablows, stun and paralyze, fighting a group of archers that don't have to stop to shoot would be a nightmare. It would be endless kiting with no counter play
you guys want instahit but don't want bolas/wands? hrmm okay

I like the idea of chasing down that mage that blew his load and fucked up and has no choice but to run from me!
Seriously though, it's the same fight. Two mages meet; they do the magic thing, than one or the other runs, and they do nothing but throw pots at each other till they loose interest, or the one being chased runs into an object letting the other catch up. I suppose I must ask you, if moving and shooting changes nothing in your mind, why are you so dead-set against it?

You think zerging is bad now, implement this and no one would be safe... No one.... It would be a bloody mess without the glorious. *Shakes head*.

no ps for combat skills please.
I think archery is good as it is, maybe no ultimate pvp skill but it still deals lots of damage with the correct bow..
Last week my archer even killed a red while i was afk, or on another char somewhere else.. I alt / tabbed and went back to my archer who was hiding near yew lich spawn and there i was not hiding anymore, 60% health and " sucky sucky now " a red, was lying dead at my feet.
^ true story..
Archer is great pvm and especially with a zerk talisman, no need to improve it.

because it promotes endless kiting which is already a problem on this shard. Add in bows and it makes the problem 10x worse. Archery like a nox mage is very powerful in group fights. @Deriz played an alchy archer which is effective and i could not get on the offensive vs that template.
@Blair plz link archery videos of you owning face with an archer mage

Kiting verse....? Mages can't attack mages with spells unless they stop and cast allowing the other to catch up or cast one of their own. and then they must close the distance to 'magic range' (8 tiles I think) at which point both mages can 'launch' the spell; this is not kiting in the true sense.
The ONLY way to attack past the 8-tile range that I know of is bows, which fire at 10-tiles (not x-bows; they have the same 8-tile limit). Otherwise you're again tossing explosion potions back-&-forth, and again, if you can counter-attack it's not true kiting. The only true problem with this is that leather armor verse a bow HURTS (unless, of course, that leather armor is invulnerable-leather; the "Invulnerable" tag grants 25 AR [plus base item AR] regardless of armor piece used). And if that is a problem use heavier armor.
Of course... you can't meditate in platemail; which I suspect is the basis of your objection.

Instahit not aos mechanic.
Moving shot is and is bad idea without many other changes.
Bolas and wands should def be in game, it is really stupid that they arent.

Incoming parry/mages.
As if physical attacks verse mages weren't difficult enough already.
Given that wands don't use mana this is even more "meta" than magery already is.
