Writing a New Spell into a Spellbook

Source PRPG Core Rulebook pg. 219
Once a wizard understands a new spell, he can record it into his spellbook.

Time: The process takes 1 hour per spell level. Cantrips (0 levels spells) take 30 minutes to record.

Space in the Spellbook: A spell takes up one page of the spellbook per spell level. Even a 0-level spell (cantrip) takes one page. A spellbook has 100 pages.

Materials and Costs: The cost for writing a new spell into a spellbook depends on the level of the spell, as noted on the following table. Note that a wizard does not have to pay these costs in time or gold for spells he gains for free at each new level.

Spell Level	Writing Cost
0	5 gp
1	10 gp
2	40 gp
3	90 gp
4	160 gp
5	250 gp
6	360 gp
7	490 gp
8	640 gp
9	810 gp
