[QUOTE="DND_Reborn, post: 8537560, member: 6987520"] While not magical IMHO, I agree they are rare. However, capturing enemy wizard spellbooks has long been a tried and true method for expanding a wizard's spelllist. While not common, it happens enough to well supplement IMO. Yeah, I've wondered about that myself. While wizards are powerful, the fact other prepared spell casters have full access to all their spells bothers me, and known spell casters have so few spells IMO it is also an issue.
