Monk's magic?

I have question about monk's ability to use magic scrolls. I have 11th level monk, and after completet quest in copper coronet I got Summon Nishruu and Death Fog -scrolls from Lehtinan's body. And the best part was that I can set the Nishruu -scroll in monk's quick slot item. Like the potions.
Is that normal?

no... you must have a mod...
monks can not use magic.. their own "magic" (ki? chi?) lies in their spcecial abilities to do stunning strikes and such.

IIRC a monk can use priestscrolls.

I don't know about scrolls, but they can use wands.

yeah, but only wands that priests can use. The same goes for scrolls. I have not seen a monk who can use any arcane scrolls so that must be some mod or bug or whatever.
But can this monk equip other arcane scrolls or is there just this one Nishruu-scroll?

I have no mods and can certainly equip wand of fire, though I haven't tried using it yet.
Could it be to do with attributes, INT for example?

Monks can use Mage wands (Wand of Fire, Wand of Monster Summoning, etc.) as well as Priest wands. Monks can use Priest scrolls, but they can't use Mage scrolls. The scroll of Summon Nishru (SCRL8U) is an exception, but that is probably due to a mistake that was made when the scroll was created by the designers. I haven't seen any other Mage scroll that a Monk can use.

These bugs are fixed by [url="http://www.baldurdash.org/ToB/Fixes/TOBfixes.html"]baldurdash[/url]:
Monk Wizard Scroll Exploit Fix
resolves the bug whereby Monks could equip and cast from the wizard scrolls for the spells Vocalize, Summon Nishruu, Remove Curse and Stone To Flesh.
Mage Wands Fix
eliminates the exploit of Monks being able to use all the mage/bard-only wands, updating the previous fix that resolves the severely game-unbalancing bug with the Wand Of Cloudkill's bypassing of the Magic Resistance check, enabling difficult Magic-Resistant enemies to be killed easily with it. Thanks to Beige Tangerine for all the usability fixes!
