Message: <blockquote data-quote="DalkonCledwin" data-source="post: 5984809" data-attributes="member: 6680145">EDIT: I just checked the Core Rulebook. According to page 219 of the Core Rulebook you only need to make ONE spellcraft check in order to copy a spell from either a scroll or another spellbook into your own spellbook. This spellcraft check is made in order to learn the spell. The only reason another spellcraft check would need to be made is assuming that the person trying to decipher the spell from the spellbook or scroll did not make use of the "Read Magic" spell in order to decipher the spell in question. However since Fae'shiel is present and would have instructed Marcus in how best to approach the process of learning a spell (i.e. she would have taught him to use "Read Magic" instead of trying to use his own inborn talent), it should be assumed that he automatically deciphers the magical writings without the use of a spellcraft check, and thus only has to make a DC 15 + Spell Level Spellcraft Check in order to learn the spell.Also of note, is that in this instance Fae'shiel is present to help Marcus learn the spells and decipher the writing in her spellbook. And since she is the one who created the magical writing in her spellbook, there is no need for either a read magic spell or spellcraft check in order to decipher the magical writing as success on deciphering magical writing is automatic if the original author of the magical writing is present to help the person trying to decipher it. The exception is in the case of Marcus' own spellbook which was apparently written by Lady Atchka or whatever her name is, in which case either a spellcraft check or a Read Magic Check by either Marcus or Fae'shiel would have been necessary in order to decipher the writing at least initially.</blockquote>
