Where the reagents come from
Light Parchment. No recipe, Blizzard quest reward or dungeon journal drop in our game data produces it. Also a required reagent in 306 other recipes (295 Inscription, 8 Enchanting and 3 Engineering); Codex of the Clear Mind takes the most, 200 per craft.
Ink of the Sea. Made with Ink of the Sea (Inscription, Northrend Inscription) from 2 
Azure Pigment. At lowest listed prices that makes one Ink of the Sea for 5 gold, against 7 gold listed. Also a required reagent in 21 other recipes (21 Inscription); the most per craft: Dalaran Scholar's Bookcase (Inscription, 6 per craft), Dalaran Street Sign (Inscription, 5 per craft), Rituals of the New Moon (Inscription, 5 per craft), Twilight Tome (Inscription, 5 per craft) and Dalaran Post (Inscription, 3 per craft).

Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 2 reagents for one craft of Scroll of Strength VIII cost 7 gold2 silver. Most of that is Ink of the Sea - 1 at 7 gold each, 7 gold, 99.7% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 7 gold38 silver per craft, 3 gold69 silver per item at 2 items a craft - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 1 gold59 silver, which does not clear it.
The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: −3 gold84 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 15 silver90 copper of a sale, so a craft loses 3 gold99 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -57.0% return on the gold you put into reagents.
Listing depth right now: 46 units across 6 auctions region-wide. Depth separates a market price from a single asking figure, but listings are not sales, so read it alongside the estimate.
Costs use each reagent’s lowest listed price; the estimate is the crafted item’s lowest listed price, times the items one craft makes, minus those reagents and Blizzard’s 5% sale cut. Listings are asking prices, not sales. Recalculated every snapshot and left blank rather than guessed when a price is missing. How we estimate crafting profit →
