Spellbook Generator Notes

Spell books and their locations can be a great adventuring tool, especially in a mage oriented campaign.

A nice tool would be something that would allow you to enter a spell name, and have it return spell books, known locations (esp modules), and approximate adventuring levels.

A random spell book generator would be another very handy tool.

Spellbook, Wizards (blank). Large, leatherbound book has 100 pages of parchment. Each spell takes one page per level (min 1).
A wizard begins play with a spellbook that contains all 0 level spells (except from a prohibited school if any) plus three first level spells of your choice.
For each point of intelligence bonus the wizard has, the spellbook will hold one additional first level spell of your choice.
At each new wizard level, you gain two new spells of any level that you can cast. A specialist must choose one of the spells from your speciality.
At any time, a wizard can also add spells found in other spell books (with some rules)
Wizard can attempt to attune to a spellbook DC 25 + highest level spell, one week and a day for each spell in the book, if the wizard succeeds, he can use the spellbook as his own Either cast Read Magic, or try to decipher arcane magical wriging DC 20 + spell level
Spellcraft DC is 15 + spell level to learn from a spellbook or a scroll
Most wizards charge spell level * 50 gp for the privlege of copying a spell from their spellbook (many wizards may charge much more for higher level spells
Materials for writing a spell into your spell book costs 100gp per page.
Captured spellbooks sell for 1/2 the cost of purchasing and inscribing the spells
