I think RAW it says that each wizard uses an arcane notation original to him or herself. I think all spells must be copied into a wizard's book, partially because each wizard casts spells differently and must scribe it into their own personal notation.

Yes, in 5e wizards MUST copy spells to their own books. They can't cast out of other people's books. I think the in-game logic is that copying a spell is actually learning it, "unlocking" its use for the individual wizard.

My thoughts exactly.

I never even thought this was a question. Passive perception seems to be the chance monsters have without really searching at all: situational awareness, as someone said. As to OP's original problem, no offense but there is something about the tone of it that leads me to believe the DM may have...

Thanks!

Alright, thanks. I thought the effective caster level for spell slots in the multicasting section would apply, but looks like I was wrong.

Interesting. Is there a book reference for this or is this just deductive reasoning?

So a character is a 3rd level paladin and a 2nd level warlock. He wants to cast eldritch blast. He only gets one ray, correct, bc he should count as a 4th level character for spellcaster level, right?

Another idea that occurred to me that makes sense is to make the wizard take debt only for spells in the book that he already possesses. Since he can actually sell the spellbook once he copies the spells, but he will pretty much break even with his own costs on spells he did not know, he will...

An excellent point. This logic would seem to dictate that spellbooks should be acquired debt-free since he has to pay out of his own money to use them. A fighter who gets a +1 sword has no expense before he can start using it.

I know that in 5E there are no set ways to determine cost of magic items. My party likes to keep a "debt tally" as to treasure dispersed in order to determine who gets the next item found. They base this on a theoretical resale value for treasure and magic items found. For that reason I need...
