[QUOTE="marcelvdpol, post: 6971127, member: 6837387"] I don't see why you would have a "debt" when a Wizard acquires a spell book. In the theoretical case that a Wizard copies spells out of the book, the spells themselves don't disappear from the book, so its free to be resold once the Wizard is done with it. Next, the Wizard already has to spend money on the actual copying of spells, unlike other classes, so charging the Wizard even more money will set him back compared to the financial resources of other members of the party. However, if you really want to set a "debt" value, I would look at the value of the scroll equivalent of the spells, then discount this down to 50% (since you cannot cast spells from the spell book directly, thus the book is less valuable compared to the equivalent scrolls) or even 25% (since you don't destroy the spell book in the process and you can still sell the spell book once you are done copying).
