[QUOTE="Lackhand, post: 6153712, member: 36160"] Okay, then I guess I withdraw my otherwise interesting rules-statement about Spells Not Wanting To Be Free...? You're answering "would any wizard, anywhere, refuse to share spells" with "yes, if they are irrational or think that you are acting in bad faith", which is fine, so far as it goes. I'm answering "why would wizards tend to not do a thing which is effectively free to them" with "here is how I introduce a cost". I do worry that without a forcing function, PC wizards (who aren't necessarily arrogant, insane, or shortsighted enough for short-term greed to blind them to long term gain) can get a lot of temporal power quickly and cheaply by giving spells away to follower wizards. It's certainly the case that within the same party, wizards have none of these reasons not to share spells, unless they simply dislike each other so much that they also might betray each other in battle or something. Hope that helps! [/QUOTE]
