Each wizard has a personalized version of the language wizards use to talk about spells. They have to translate spells in other spellbooks into their version of this language. Spellbooks aren't written in normal language, it's like legalese, and every lawyer has a different dialect.Wizards gain the spells they gain at level up from practicing and researching in their spare time and suddenly struck with insight into how the spell works when they level up, not because they are suddenly struck with a vision of the spell formulae when they level up. Why do people not read the flavor text?</blockquote>
