(Which could easily be resolved by ROLE-PLAYING more, rather than waiting for the next battle.... the stupid barbarian says...)  The disconnect i see is that there aren't rules mandating that kind of activity, but there are for the wizard in this task. I agree with Ti, to the point that it's better to encourage more role-playing dialog and non-combat events than modifying the game to fit a fast-paced combat environment.  Remember when we used to say, "Why not just play a video game?"The RAW for the spell goo are, at the very least, inconvenient with the pace of game we normally play.  GENERALLY, i think, we encounter this situation(needing to copy spells) at a place where we are afforded time(re-supply runs, etc etc) and that doesn't require the modification of the pace or story line to include the RAW.  Right now, and perhaps at some other point in the future, that isn't/may not be the case.  I am by no means against saying, we accept that it just TAKES TIME to learn spells, but if we say that, i think we should commit to playing that time out better than we normally do.  What i don't want, is to say, whatever lets ignore the RAW, you get the spells and lets keep playing....(Even as much as i want to just get back to playing.)I'm not sure that clears anything up.Essentially.  I am ok with RAW, as long as Di(and everyone but Ti) is ok NOT just glossing over the time it takes.  But if we're going to change it, I think Di should take the ideas that are out there, pick what he thinks corresponds to HIS game, and we can complain AFTER.......i'd rather be playing. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
