A wizard may spend a day studying the spell, then make a spellcraft check of DC 20 + spell level to understand the spell. If the check succeeds, he may spend an additional 1-day per spell level to finish learning the spell. Failure means you can try again when you have put another rank into spellcraft.  A successfully learned spell may be prepared from the spellbook as if it were in the mage’s own handwriting (preparation is guaranteed, no spellcraft check).  The time spent learning the spell does not have to be uninterruptible; it can be done in between adventures or while traveling.</blockquote>
