[QUOTE="Deadguy, post: 535416, member: 2480"] Jumping in late here, I would say that merely copying a spell from a different Wizard's spellbook into your own will not help you much. You'd still have all of the original wizard's magical notations to contend with, and so you'd still need to make the appropriate Spellcraft checks to even understand the text. And you'd not be able to prepare the spell unless you'd [i]already[/i] converted such a spell in the past and had it in your spellbook! So, whilst direct copying of a spell from one book to another would seem possible by magic, it just wouldn't serve any really useful purpose to do so. Or rather the only one I can see is to quickly copy a spell out of a 'borrowed' book ( ;) ) so that you could try and learn it later at your leisure - an expensive proposition, but maybe useful.
