One of the two new professions for the Wrath of the Lich King expansion is Inscription. From the look of the recipes it will rely heavily on herbalism gathering to get the herbs needs to create glyphs and scrolls. However, you can always use the Auction House to gather your herbs, but for the Herbalist out there this is another profession that will increase demand for your herbs, creating perhaps a higher coin for your work now. This profession will allow for the changing of other skills that you will have, changing the duration, strength, and more of your skills. This profession has you able to create scrolls and glyphs. As the expansion is only in Beta testing and not released yet, these skills may be altered before the final expansion comes out.
While I'm sure that these recipes will undergo changes and some may be gone entirely while they are replaced with newer, cooler, spells, so far the alpha and the beta testing team at Blizzard and World of Warcraft have given us a sneak preview of the following recipes that they are working on for the inscription profession.
