Message: <blockquote data-quote="irdeggman" data-source="post: 2786682" data-attributes="member: 16285">It does not state they must be written into a spell book.SRD:True, but what about when a wizard has lost his spellbook or had it destroyed? He no longer has one and he can replace the spellbook as follows:Another point is in the skill description for Spellcraft.Spellcraft DC: 15 + spell levelTask:  Learn a spell from a spellbook or scroll (wizard only). No retry for that spell until you gain at least 1 rank in Spellcraft (even if you find another source to try to learn the spell from). Requires 8 hours.Spellcraft DC: 20 + spell levelTask: Decipher a written spell (such as a scroll) without using read magic. One try per day. Requires a full round action.Basically IMO as I read the material in total I end up with:To learn a spell a wizard must make a  decipher arcane writing check (if it is written down somewhere else). DC 20+ level of spell. This gets him a rudimentary understanding of the spell in question.To learn the spell he must then make a spellcraft check of 15 + spell level.He can then scribe it into his spell book and subsequently prepare it.It is interesting though when itand Which seems confusing to me at least.At one time the RAW says once a wizard understands a spell he can scribe it into his spellbook and on the other it says in order to scribe it into his spellbook he has to prepare it and then expend this preparation when scribing it.But he can't prepare a spell unless he uses a spell book to do it from.</blockquote>
