I think that is what the spell craft check is for. make the dc and you undersstand it well enough to copy it. don't make the dc and you do not understand it enough to copy it. spell craft dc is 15 plus spell level IAW the phb pp 178-179. I have this posted in the Ic thread as well.

It was usually followed by a tech manual info which had been signed by at leas a colornol, which means if we did not follow it, bad bad news.

Tylara can't use Shadow Binding. Any chance Crus can give her Bands of Steel? That's a similar 3rd level spell only a Conjuration from Spell Compendium. Tylara is scribing all the other spells, but won't be able to learn the level three spells until she gets another level.

I do believe that Xavier has that spell...
After further review he indeed does... let's talk once you can cast it.... maybe hilst we're in the Underdark, we can take a day to copy spells

Also, I already rolled my spellcraft check oh gracious DM, probably a page or 2 back in the IC thread. Xavier would probably only want Shadow Binding for now.

PS: Can you scribe spells into your spellbook if you can't cast them yet?

Good question. I've always thought that wizards would be collecting powerful spells and dreaming of the day they could cast them. All it says in the SRD is:

"At any time, a wizard can also add spells found in other wizards’ spellbooks to her own."

I'll see what I can find in the PH and maybe complete arcane.

 

[Scotley]

I can't find anything that says you can't scribe a spell higher than your level as long as you can make the spellcraft check. It does specifically say that the spells you get from leveling up have to be ones of a level you can cast. PH178-179 is where I looked.

 

[renau1g]

I agree, I wouldn't think there's an issue with copying the spell, because you're copying the words or letters or characters, but the issue lies in actually being able to intone them correctly.

I mean, maybe a wizard gets time stop, but is only level 5, like Scotley mentioned dreaming of the day he can access it... cool visual
