This glitch seems to work due to a stack count variable being set upon equipping a stack of scrolls. It appears that equipping scrolls is treated similarly to selecting a quantity of item to drop, so by selecting scrolls and then immediately dropping another item, the game skips the popup asking to select an amount to drop and instead uses the scroll stack value instead.

Scroll Duping is a glitch that allows you to duplicate an item into several copies of itself when dropped by manipulating a stack of scrolls.
Instructions
- Select a scroll stack that has at least 2 of the same scroll from your inventory.
- Without exiting the inventory, drop an item you want to dupe that is in a smaller stack than the scroll stack you selected.
- Exit the inventory and the chosen item will be dropped in a stack the size of the scroll stack.
Additional Notes
- If you accidentally select a few different scroll stacks in a row, you may have to exit and open your inventory and try the glitch again.
- You repeat step 2 of the instructions repeatedly while in the inventory to dupe multiple items at once.
- This glitch will not work on certain items, including weapons/armor that have been damaged/repaired.
- It is faster and less laggy to dupe a stack of an item rather than a single item when duping up to a large quantity. Try duping a single item with a smaller scroll stack first, and then dupe that larger stack of that item again with a larger scroll stack. Duping a single item with a 200+ scroll stack may crash the game.
Mechanics
This glitch requires further research to fully understand its mechanics. Some information in this section is currently speculation.
This glitch seems to work due to a stack count variable being set upon equipping a stack of scrolls. It appears that equipping scrolls is treated similarly to selecting a quantity of item to drop, so by selecting scrolls and then immediately dropping another item, the game skips the popup asking to select an amount to drop and instead uses the scroll stack value instead. A thorough examination of the code would be required to understand more about how this works.
