    Just read it? No, somehow pour gold into the pages in order to learn it.

    Where is that money going? Who gets it? The guy who wrote the original, or is there a giant magic scroll guild stealing all those hard earned spellwriter’s profits? Is Spellify taking it and not passing it on? I have to know!

      Gold is a reagent and is consumed upon casting the spell.

      Wizards don’t actually commit spells fully to memory, at least not typically. The times they do they have to be simple and are called cantrips.

      Scribing a scroll to learn a spell is the wizard copying the scroll into their spellbook, requiring expensive magic ink that costs money.
