Just curious about a couple of things:
1.) I logged on tonight, did my usual locking of magic, then proceeded to study my spellbook. At the end of Chapter 2, I was still at learning. Hmmm, that's weird, I locked it last night. Assist, GH says everything working like it should. Hmmmm...ok I proceed to study again and get to perplexed by the end of Chap 3. ponder Weird, maybe my brain needed a fix.
2.) About what kinda scholarship does this thing stop teaching at? With what I got, it can still lock me, but that's getting heavy into Chapter 4. Also known as the last chapter for spells for clerics.
3.) When a spellbook stops teaching scholarship, what's next? Regular old prayer bead primers?
4.) Was there (didn't feel like reading throw 1310 posts), anything mentioned about maybe lowering the RT (Roundtime) on spells that you (Personally) use constantly? If I hunt, use DR and HE when I hunt, MaPP, MPP, PFE, OM, Bene, Male, CoZ, if I stop hunting, and start studying, shouldn't I know those a lil better then something I haven't used in a very long time *rejuve/resurrection/soul bonding* Possibly put spells on a timer or something? I know, lotsa work to code that probably, but it's a suggestion. Reading through a spellbook with 35-40 second RT's kinda makes for a boring half hour. Specially in a swamp with no one around for miles *though I will admit it's very quiet*.
5.) If 4 works (highly doubt, but still suggest), maybe making it a quick glance rather then a study: Shalrin turns his spellbook to "Harm Evil" spell. Shalrin makes a couple of quick glances over the notes. Shalrin turns his spellbook to "Resurrection" spell. Shalrin studies the notes in his spellbook.
6.) If 4 & 5 work, spellbooks can then teach higher then they do (which is?). If you wait for the timer to expire (say, 5 minutes, enough time to drop stuff off, get healed, scratch yerself, whatever), you can fully study the spells notes and learn more then the quick glance (obviously). Of course, the RT's would be higher then the quick glances. I dunno, just a suggestion (shoot it folks, burn burn burn).
7.) *Kicks the huge 300 lb gorilla for good measure* Get off his back!!

Spellbooks don't stop teaching. They stop teaching WELL, but as far as I am aware they don't stop teaching.
With a Cleric spellbook, which only has 25 spells, I can get perplexing with 300 scholarship. With a Moon Mage or War Mage book, I could probably look it due to the fact that their books have more spells.

I left off reading chap 4. Juggled my yak skulls for about 10-15 minutes, logged off. Logged on, locked magic roughly 10 minutes, then studied. Didn't learn nothing. As for the whole quick glance thing...didn't think it'd work. And it wouldn't teach much anyway... (it's why it's called a suggestion).
As for the post by smegul...that's what I was lookin for. Least I know it'll still work with expert plus scholarship...was what I was wonderin.

Re: Spellbooks

Ok, judging by what you listed, you only used up roughly half the timer for those first pages, so you didn't start learning until you reached a page that didn't have a timer still ticking down on it.
On the bright side, the timer only appears to be attached to pages in a Guild-specific manner. If you get your hands on more spellbooks from other Guilds (1 each) you can add them into the reading to continue learning even after reading all of yours before the timer is up.
I do like the suggestion of lowering the RT. Perhaps a reduction based on scholarship and what spells you have (if you are studying a spell which is a pre-req to another spell which you have, then chances are this spell is old-hat to you).

In addition, they are consitering taking away all spellbooks owned by moonies, since their magic is fake anyway.

Since there has been no response I am guessing the answer is 'Soon, but not in the forseeable future."

Spellbooks and RT
02/19/2004 01:57 AM CST
Could the spellbook RT's be looked at and perhaps altered so that the RT reduces as the reader's skill in scholarship increases? Spellbooks are immensely time intensive and for those people unlucky enough to have/need high ranks in scholarship, they teach little. I am not opposed to shelling out the extra kronar for more spellbooks, but I don't want to spend all day reading them. Scholarship is already hard enough to come by, please make these more useful.
Also, as an empath there are some problems. We will be required to learn scholarship (past 30th) in the next month or so. Unfortunately, we do not have that many spells. As I recall the merchant's shop was set up so that you could only purchase a spellbook from your own guild. So when that merchant comes around again, I can only purchase a spellbook that is inferior to a war mage's spellbook or a moon mage's spellbook (unless I get someone to buy one for me, but i want a bloody empath spellbook). Since increasing the ammount learnt from each page of the empath spellbook (to make one read-through teach as much as a moonmage read-through) would probably be unfair (but super) would it be possible to lower the timer between reads? Okay, i think that's it. Hooray for spellbooks!
I'm not sure if this is beating a dead horse or not, sorry if it is.

Can I do that with the better books? The sign says they bond - but many people say that's not accurate. Just the name of the purchaser is on it - which we can deal with. So, anyone know more about what might be broken if I purchase one for her? Thanks!

Last I knew....
*Only the purchaser could attach or detach anything to the spellbook (special locks, beads, etc.)
*It has the purchaser's name on it.
*Though it says you can - you can't actually write in them yet (Might be fixed or on the to fix soon list)
*The herb page is no longer accurate unless that has been fixed recently as well.

If my trader buys a book, and gets it dolled up to look like a necro book - then when Necromancers come out, I decide to reroll and join them. Will I still be able to use the book? Attach/De-attach, etc. though I suppose eventually necromancers will have their own books, but thats not a huge issue. It's more an RP/scholarship training piece anyways.

That is a good question...I have never tried. I know at least some items that bond still work if you reroll, but I know of others that don't.
Anyone with a ticket willing to test?

Spellbooks and Wounds

I don't necessarily remember this before...but could someone take a look at reading spellbooks while wounded?
Some wounds, yes, I understand. But...
Your body feels at full strength.
Your spirit feels full of life.
You have no significant injuries.

XXX touches you.
You feel a warmth radiate from XXXX's touch.
You have a brief sensation that leaves your wounds tingling.
J>study spell
You can't see the mistwood spellbook too well in your current condition.
I had some negligible/insignificant internal scars, but that was the most of it.
