(Intelligence + 4 + (XPLevel)/2 - 2*(BookLevel)) * 5% Your rate of successfully reading an uncursed book is: On a humorous note, perhaps monsters reading too difficult spellbooks were so stupid they got turned to stone, not just paralyzed like us players. Randomly generated statues have a chance of containing a spellbook ( More info). Spellbooks comprise 4% of all randomly-generated items in the main dungeon and 12% in containers.

The base price of a spellbook is 100 per level. (For instance, a spellbook with a base price of 700 zm is 75% likely to be cancellation, and 25% likely to be finger of death.) If you know the price of the book, this column tells you how likely it is to be a given spell. The "Probability Conditional on Price" column is for use with price identification. The following is a list of all spellbooks, listed alphabetically by the school of magic they represent and by difficulty inside the schools.

Reading a spellbook in a shop and in the presence of a shopkeeper before you pay for it incurs a usage fee ("This is no free library, cad!") Perhaps a bug, a polymorphed spellbook will not fade if spell was not already in your spellcasting menu Z useful in desparate situations, a scroll of amnesia can also extract an extra reading. If you polymorph a spellbook, it will count as read one more time. Re-reading a spellbook "early", that is you still know the spell, has no effect beyond exercising wisdom.

A spellbook will fade after refreshing the spell from it if it has been read four times, making spellbook-management quite important. Note that you will forget spells 20,000 turns after you read the respective spellbook the last time. Spellbooks made blank this way will retain their BUC status. Dipping a spellbook into water (or a fountain sometimes) will blank it. If you have a blank spellbook and a magic marker, then you can try to write the spellbook of any spell that you know. You could also wield it and read an uncursed scroll of remove curse or cast remove curse. You can use holy water or a blessed scroll of remove curse to uncurse the spellbook. Thus in general, never read a cursed spellbook.

If the spellbook is too difficult, you will not learn the spell, and instead harmful effects will happen: you might become blind, or you might lose all of your gold.Ī cursed spellbook can also cause these harmful effects.

(This obviously breaks the illiterate conduct.) A pair of lenses is great for reading spellbooks. To attempt to memorise the spell, you must read the spellbook. A spellbook + is a book containing runes describing some spell.
