There are only three reasons why a Mage cannot scribe a scroll to his spellbook, and the game will usually inform you why.
1) Nothing happens, but the scroll is still there. This is most probably due to opposing school reasons.
2) You get a message that says you have reached the maximum limit for that spell level. Solution, drink potions that increases your INT and try again.
3) The scroll disappears but the spell does not appear in the spellbook. This means that your Mage has failed to scribe the scroll properly. Solutions include drinking potions to increase INT (success will never be 100% though), or if you really, really, really want the spell, reload.
If the scroll is high level, and beyond your Mage's current memorisation ability, there will be penalties to your chance of success too.
