<blockquote data-quote="Old Drew Id" data-source="post: 3176088" data-attributes="member: 12175">I crunched the math on this, based on NPC starting wealth and the cost to scribe spells into the spellbook, and this is what I came up with:[CODE]From the RAW:A wizard can also add a spell to her book whenever she encounters one on a magic scroll or in another wizard's spellbook. In most cases, wizards charge a fee for the privilege of copying spells from their spellbooks. This fee is usually equal to the spell's level x 50 gp.A spell takes up one page of the spellbook per spell level. Even a 0-level&nbsp;spell (cantrip) takes one page. Materials for writing the spell cost 100 gp per page.[/CODE]Also, starting NPC wealth is listed in the DMG and NPC's generally do not spend more than 1/3 of their starting wealth on a single item. That gives you how much money each NPC can spend on spells beyond what they get for free. So, assuming the wizard goes with scrolls or borrowed books at each level depending on what is most economical, here is the cost for each &quot;purchased&quot; spell:[CODE]Spell Lvl&nbsp; Cost to Scribe (including source)1&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; 1252&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; 3003&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; 4504&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; 6005&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; 7506&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; 9007&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; 10508&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; 12009&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; 1350[/CODE]Assuming the NPC spends no more than 1/3 of his starting wealth on purchased spells, his book of purchased spells will have the following cost and will probably contain the following spells of each level.
