From where exactly? Spells certainly do not come into existence out of nothing. Some agency has to create them, and that agency ought to be you, another spellcaster, a deity or a patron. Your patron teaches them to you with no strings attached? Pro quid quo. You patron will probably ask your warlock to do something in return before they hand a new spell over. As for being written into your spellbook, this depends on who is doing the writing. As for clerics, it's another pro quid quo thing. How many deities are willing to donate you their power without something in return?</blockquote>
