[QUOTE="Savage Wombat, post: 5865112, member: 1932"] Well, I went and looked it up. If you run the game the way Elf Witch and I clearly do, and wizards have to get their new spells from scrolls, then the cost is quadratic - (25gp x spell level x caster level) which, while small, is non-trivial at high levels. A single fifth level spell costs over 1000 gp. The actual scribing cost is linear, though - 100 gp/spell level, and for some reason, the RAW has the cost of spell books and borrowing spell books as linear as well - 50 gp/spell level. So it's possible that some people's games make it easy for players to get their hands on other wizard's books without a sizeable expenditure. But that's a DM control issue, again. [/QUOTE]
