[QUOTE="Patryn of Elvenshae, post: 1723401, member: 23094"] Ah - but you're assuming the point to prove the point! You can't assume you can read without light to prove that you can read without light. I could just as easily turn around and say, "It actually said you need sufficient light to read them by, therefore proving that you need light to read. If it had meant that you could read them with darkvision, it would have specifically said so." Also, I think the nonprevalence of dwarven wizards is a point in *my* favor. In general, dwarves don't write on paper. The paper-based spellcasting traditions of humans and elves, therefore, have penetrated very little into dwarven society for exactly that reason. Instead, they have devised their own methods of spell recording - rune magic, which is based on Divine magic. And what's to prevent your dwarven wizard from making his spellbook out of small sheets of engraved and painted metal, so that he can read them both with and without light? I think it would add to the flavor of things. [/QUOTE]
