These actions can be restricted in the initHeroes.json configuration file for specific hero classes using the forbiddenActions array.

The Gnoll class forbids reading scrolls, reading tome of mastery, and inscribing with arcane stylus:

"forbiddenActions": [
  "Scroll_ACRead",
  "TomeOfMastery_ACRead",
  "Stylus_ACInscribe"
]

The HeroClass.forbidden(String action) method in HeroClass.java checks if an action is in the class's forbiddenActions set. The action constants are defined in various item classes and CommonActions.java.
