Inscription
Burning Crusade introduced jewelcrafting which allowed players to customize their gear. WotLK introduces a new profession which is Inscription.
Inscription lets you customize the abilities and skills in your spellbook :" you are permanently changing your spell kit." says lead designer Tom Chilton. " you might find a couple different recipes to inscribe your fireball with increased crit chance, or increased damage, or faster cast time, or lower mana cost- so it is almost like a talent system within the profession system. Only it is almost like a talent system within the profession system; only it is based around choices you make for an individual spell rather than affecting your character as a whole."
unlike enchanters, Inscribers will be able to sell physical product ( creating tradable "scrolls", for example, from ink, paper, and other reagents).
Only a handful of core spells will be customizable in this fashion, so don't expect to extend the range of your priest's mind vision, but do expect to extend the duration of your Hunter's Freezing trap.

Trainers :
It is expected that the Inscription profession trainer will be found in the Alliance and Horde towns in Northrend, though there has been no official statement about that as of yet.
