I very rarely play Wizards, but decided to play my first in 5E recently. So I got to thinking, why is it that all Wizard's write their spellbooks in a code that only they can read? How does that square with having a Wizard mentor (being an apprentice)? Wouldn't it make more sense for the Master to teach his apprentice his own code? How would he correct any mistakes the apprentice might make while writing what the Master has taught him? And there is the question regarding those who have any Traits, etc. that cause the character to spread knowledge around.
Oh, and it eliminates two well worn tropes. The kindly Master Wizard who gifts his prize pupil with a spellbook before sending him out into the world to make his mark. And the impatient apprentice who steals his Master's spellbook and runs off to make his mark on the world.
