At low level the spellbook adds to the roleplay of a Wizard but at high levels the expense of scribing duplicate spellbooks is immense and the potential for destroying a players fun means that there should be an "official" way of working around it without bankrupting the PC.As it is it seems a balanced way of making a mid-high level wizards spellbook important, as losing it does cramp your style a lot, without crippling the character (as you are out 6,250gp per Boccobs rather than the 25,000 gp for a normal spellbook). Being unable to prepare any new spells for a few days is tense and fun, being forced to rebuild your spellbook from scratch for 150,000 gp is not.As for the second point a Wizards power comes from within and is the manipulation of arcane forces by mental ability. A Priests powers are granted to him by his deity (as I force all divine casters to have a deity IMC) so the power of their spells comes from outside them, which is why a deity can deny a priest spells.</blockquote>
