[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 2853304, member: 2525"] Not to throw a wrench in things (and this is not a reply specifically to what Thanee just said), but what if you can teach someone else any spell you have learned, even if you cannot cast a spell you have learned? In other words, what if a generalist wizard who has learned and can cast the spell charm person teaches that spell to a specialist wizard who has excluded the enchantment school. The specialist wizard could "learn" the spell from the generalist, and put it in his spellbook, but not cast it. The specialist wizard then teaches another generalist wizard the spell charm person. Therefore, learning spells you cannot cast would have a function. You can pass the spell on to someone who CAN cast it. I can even see an organizational element coming out of this concept. Members of a certain organization always learn a spell handed down for generations that nobody has been able to cast. When they some day teach the spell to someone who DOES learn how to cast it, they know based on their prophecy that this is the legendary person they have been waiting for. [/QUOTE]
