And at ~10,000gp a pop, a wizard has to scribe quite a few spells into it to take advantage of the free scribing costs. 10,000gp is the equivalent of the scribing costs of four 5th level, ten 4th level, five 3rd level, 8 2nd level, and nine 1st level spells. This is a prodigious number of spells.At low levels, the initial fixed cost of the BBB isn't worth it.At high levels, however, it's plum necessary. But at that point, you'd think Wizards as a whole would figure a way around their class' biggest flammable money-sink.</blockquote>
