Editing Spellbooks (section)

== Background ==
Spellbooks are so rare because they can't be copied, not without extensive study by a powerful Mage, or a class with similar Skills. Not even a high leveled mage could simply do it, as it requires a specialized class such as [Magical Scribe]. More importantly, scribing a [[spells|spell]] is only possible for someone of an equal of higher level than the spell itself. For instance, for a Tier 4 spell, one would need to be around Level 40 or higher.<ref name=":Wistram Days (Pt. 7)">[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/11/21/wistram-days-pt-7/ Wistram Days (Pt. 7)]</ref>

Most spellbooks found today are of a lower quality than those found hundreds of years ago aligning with the degradation of magical knowledge as a whole that is seen throughout the story. One surviving spellbook from three hundred years ago is a first edition tome of Rihal currently in the possession of [[Krshia Silverfang]].<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/07/22/2-39/ Chapter 2.46]</ref> This spellbook contains multiple lower tier spells and is significantly easier to learn from than most modern spellbooks.
