[QUOTE="Theo R Cwithin, post: 5154712, member: 75712"] Yeah, it's pretty much just copy and sell, but there's a few things that can control handing out spells if the DM needs to. Frex: - All wizards have more or less the same spells; copying the spellboook only nets a few new spells for the PC. - Make it a little more difficult by encoding the spells, so the PC has to expend more time, money or knowledge to get the spells. - Split spell books into pieces: the one or two books the party finds are the wiz's travelling or working spellbooks. The full one is very well hidden. - Using another wiz's spells could have consequences: If you kill Framboise the Red and learn [I]fireball[/I] from his spellbook, his friends might recognize you as his murderer by the subtle yet distinctive raspberry aroma of your new [I]fireballs[/I]. Naturally, his friends will want revenge. Or imagine the demon Prince Graxxahak's ire when he realizes it wasn't Lord Darkk who used Lord Darkk's gate spell to summon him. [/QUOTE]
