And, as I said, most players are fine with it and enjoy the added "touches" of magical fantasy without question.There have been plenty of times a wizard character has made a "request" or offered to pay for something specific they find out another wizard has/can do. Generally speaking, unless the offer is some other form of magic that interests the spell-holding mage, they won't be interested...and/or, to put it plainly, not every NPC is a "nice/giving/'Big Bird says share' person" hahaha.In general, in my world setting, the sharing of spells from one's spellbook is relatively rare, unless you are offering your services as an apprentice or it is a family member/someone you know and trust very well. It's considered something of a social "faux pas" (if not outright insult/impudence) among many of the mages of my world. I've gotten many miles of side-quests, even once where the "side-quest" became a whole story arc of its own, of the party undergoing a quest for a wizard to retrieve XYZ (be it an item, rare ingredient, etc) in exchange for access to A (1, singular) spell of theirs.There is a mages' guild and various academies across the world, of course, where one might find spells to add to their spellbooks...but not every tower in every city has the same resources/spells at hand...least not that they allow just anyone to have access to.But no, I don't ever really feel the need to (nor am often asked to) explain myself for these kinds of "flavor" magics. A "rule-lawyer" kind of demand usually gets an eye roll, if anything. haha. thankfully, I haven't had to deal with one in a game in a very long time.</blockquote>
