[QUOTE="JoeGKushner, post: 5489128, member: 1129"] But... and maybe it's just me here, you don't get your spells for free in the first place. Well, not all of them. There's a base cost for spells. there's a base cost for the spellbook itself and to put spells into the book. Mateials and cost for a spell is 100gp per page per spell level. A 3rd level spell is going to be 300 gp to write it into the book. Ths doesn't count learning cost outside of your new spell slot so that's another 50gp per level if the GM is being kind as the core PHB notes "many wizards jealously guard their high level spells and may charge much more, or even deny access to them altogether." That 9K goes mighty quick. And if your poor bastard wizard misses a saving throw and gets his spellbook nuked? Ah man! [/QUOTE]
