Ghost Touch Gloves The lich, known only as the Keeper, first made these gloves as the first step in making his phylactery incorporeal so he could carry it everywhere without fear.

Wizards do not exist in your game world?

Furthermore, a quick perusal of the SRD reveals that several books work better for a class than any other. Golem Manuals (mostly sorcerer or wizard, one cleric) and Blessed Book (for wizards). Three other books do not benefit a class more than any other (gaining a stat bonus is overall good...

Think of "why" someone would want to cast this spell. 1. To know how many and what kind of magic books are in a suspect library. 2. To research a legendary or epic item, place, or thing. In case #1. You as DM control how many (if any) are magical and what magics that would be. What do you want...

Lots of arcane necromantic spells provide healing (or rather trading of hp from friends or enemies). They don't work as well as cleric spells and indeed often have a drawback and are higher level than comparable clerical healing. These spells can be researched without house-ruling that the mage...
