[QUOTE="Jack Simth, post: 2866293, member: 29252"] My guess? Baccob's Blessed Book. Okay, so you can scribe a spell into BBB for free (other than the one day scribing time). You can cast a spell out of a spellbook, but it removes the spell from the book. Wizard crafts two Blessed Books. One, he uses as his "normal" spellbook (Main). The other (Death by Fire), he copies his commonly used spells into several times (e.g., "Let's see... 20 copies of Delayed Blast Fireball, twenty copies of Time Stop, twenty copies of Force Cage; that will fill up my two months prep time; and it's only 550 of my 1,000 pages; good thing I have three copies each of the common utility spells already in there; otherwise, I wouldn't have quite enough preparation time."). Then, in the dungeon, he can go a LONG time between rests...... and after he's cast the spell from the book, it's blank, and can be re-scribed, again, for no cost but his time. A Baccob's Blessed Book costs 12,500 gp and takes thirteen days to make. A scroll of a 9th level spell costs 3,825 gp, and takes four days to make. A Baccob's Blessed Book can hold 111 9th level spells and one 1st level spell, and it takes 112 days to so fill it. Assuming you craft everything yourself, the time break-even point on crafting scrolls of 9th level spells vs. crafting a BBB, scribing a spell into it is a little over four 9th level spells (4*4=16 days to make the scrolls, vs. 13+4*1=17 days to make the BBB and fill it with four spells). Gold and XP wise, it's slightly over 3 (~3.26797385620915032679738562091503). Even if casting out of the book actually destroys the pages (so they can't be re-scribed), the Wizard pulling this trick STILL comes out way ahead. Edit: If you have a chance of losing the spell before and after when casting the spell you want from your book, simply pad the "working copy" BBB with 1st, 2nd, and 3rd level spells between, that you don't really care about - Featherfall, Mage Armor, Shield.....
