Scrolls in Death March are capable of casting a spell without the need for "Chant", but the problem is it can only be cast once and the level of magic in the scrolls is limited. However, once Satou casts a spell with a scroll, it gets added to his Magic Column from his Menu skill, where he can cast it an indefinite amount of times, chantlessly, at about x10 the usual power.

This is how Satou gets to ability to use magic without having "Chant". However, the problem is that scrolls can only be made to contain spells from Beginner-to-Intermediate Class, and dangerous attack magic was bared from sell unless Satou found a way to get permission, same for the magic books. Advanced-to-Forbidden Class magic is too powerful, and so Satou said that if he wanted to learn more advanced magic he needed to learn to "Chant", which is what the Chant Orb was needed for. Also, Satou's original magic, the magic he creates himself, could only be performed by him if the magic was only as powerful as Beginner-to-Intermediate Class because only those could be made into scrolls that he could then use to aquire the original magic.

There was some talk in the beginning that a "dragon whisker" could be used to make a pen that could write Advanced Magic, but it was never brought back up, most likely because it just became irrelevant.

Either way, the "Chant" skill he gets from the orb pretty much breaks his character. Because he "chants" any magic once, adds it to his Magic Column, and then circumvents the entire necessity for scrolls and chanting all together. The magic books he got are then added to his column with chant and also made obsolete. Also because his Chant allows for advanced and forbidden magic, he can use it to create original magic of the same level, which, for the most part, is significantly more powerful than normal advanced and forbidden magic.
