Scroll Trickster Dedication Feat 2
Prerequisites trained in Arcana, Nature, Occultism, or Religion

You gain the Trick Magic Item feat, and you gain a +2 circumstance bonus to skill checks to Trick scrolls. If you roll a critical failure to Trick a Magic Item that’s a scroll, you get a failure instead.
Special You can’t select another dedication feat until you have gained two other feats from the Scroll Trickster archetype.
