"A scroll Lightning Blade" sounds wrong because the nouns are in the wrong order, so I changed it to "A Lightning Blade scroll." Another answer could be "The scroll Lightning Blade," because the scroll and Lightning Blade are two separate nouns.
"Add (x) into" sounds strange. We'd say "add (x) to," even if it is going inside.
Other than that, great job! 👍

In this context, what’s the difference between them?
1) A Lightning Blade scroll vs. The Lightning Blade scroll
2) other than vs. except vs. excluding

@Aoki_Games Don't worry, articles are the hardest part.
"A Lightning Blade scroll" means "any scroll that has Lightning Blade"
"The Lightning Blade scroll" means that both the speaker and listener know about scrolls, and the speaker is saying "this scroll's name specifically."
In both contexts, I'd say "The Lightning Blade scroll" and "A Lightning Blade scroll" are fine. But for the title, you'd want to say "A Lightning Blade scroll," or the plural "Lightning Blade scrolls" since you aren't talking about it further.
"The scroll Lightning Blade" means "The scroll, which we both know exists, is Lightning Blade." You can also add commas to make it easier to understand, both are fine. "The scroll, Lightning Blade,"

Wait, the scroll, Lightning Blade and the Lightning Blade scroll aren’t the same meaning?
PS: If my English sounds weird feel free to correct me!

@Aoki_Games Yes, they do not have the same meaning. In "The Lightning Blade scroll," "Lightning Blade" is an adjective that describes the noun, which is the scroll.
In "The scroll, Lightning Blade," you are saying "This is the scroll, and its name is Lightning Blade." You also can't say "A scroll, Lightning Blade," here.
They're both very similar to each other, but they are a little different.
