[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 8336990, member: 93670"] You miss the omission from o5e by focusing on the wrong part. that bolded bit used to have rules prior to 5e. With prices for copying from the spellbook of some other wizard in town it raises the obvious downtime activity of being that other wizard instead of the one copying it. The cost to scribe that spell into their spellbook after obtaining some form of access to it is a different matter from the market rate of common spells. Page 179 of the 3.5 phb pegged it at spell level *50gp &there was a wealth by level then to ensure that was not burdensome cost like the xe 133/174 spell scrolls for sale. [I]Researching[/I] spells is an entirely different thing. It's the difference between seeing a table with base prices for equipment and rules for crafting magic equipment. The same applies to the difference between scribing scrolls you expect to put i your inventory & keep vrs scribing spell scrolls for a merchant providing the supplies and some payment for the wizard's time with the expectation that the scrolls would be kept by the merchant & sold rather than staying with the wizard [/QUOTE]
