The range on digging is pretty big and I've picked up some significant hauls from it. ( I seem to remember a 50k chest somewhere, probably in dead land. )

There are - everywhere the pillar of light shines there lies a chest. They can be dug up with the spade icon near the mini-map or by pressing D - this element to the game is explained during the tutorial I believe. Did you skip it?

[Edit : Also, I'd like to throw another question out there if I may. What use is there for bonuses to scroll slots? Surely there comes a point where you no longer buy any scrolls as the spells you need are learnt permanently (and above the first level of the spell). As I understand things, you can pick up as many map-found scrolls as you like and the limit only applies to actually buying scrolls - so is it as useless a bonus as it seems to me?]

Scrolls are mostly only useful for warriors since they allow you to cast the first level of a spell at no cost in mana. As a warrior, I always buy every scroll of gift I can find since you never know when you will need more res from your inquisitors. A few other spells are useful at first level too. So you only need to buy scrolls afterwards if they are useful at first level. In other words, the skill is only semi-useful, but since it comes with a bonus to mana as well, it's worth getting.

Bleh been too long since I played. Now I remember - in fact the tutorial at the start shows this - oh well I should play again fairly soon (when I have time).

Perhaps you haven't quote yet you can sell scrolls, in your current game if you never sold any you have a big amount of money to get from selling those.

The bonus to scroll slots is very minor but not vain. That's typically the item you wear only when you want buy a scroll and don't want sell or learn some.

You can delay learning spell for many reason like to delay your choice or like to wait if you are a mage that you have increase the skill that reduce crystals costs.

About that take care even in normal mode that you'll get a crystal shortage if you try learn too many spells.
