If you want to cast from another's spell book after you decipher their style (which you would only have to do once), I think it would mean that you have to spend some additional amount of time as a part of your daily studying, maybe another hour.  Most of the time this added time would be absorbed in the daily resting anyway, so it shouldn't be too onerous of a time commitment.  However, if it's a time crunch situation, the wizard might just have to deal with not being able to use someone else's spellbook.If you just want to cast read magic everyday, that would work too I suppose.How's that sound?</blockquote>
