Wizard Spellbooks

[Decimate_The_Weak]

This suggestion is sparked by a discussion in the past regarding the limitation of spell schools as well as a recent topic of spellbooks. While wizards are particular powerful, I think it can be agreed that they lack a certain flare of their counterpart. While this isn't necessarily a solution to that it may add some further variety to wizards and maybe some more unique spell choices.

My suggestion is for there to exist Spellbooks IG (Book of Pyromancy, Book of Illusions, etc) that wizards would attune or "study" a spellbook. Attuning to the book would put a set selection of spells into the character's spell list, circumventing spell school restrictions in some cases. A wizard can only study one book at a time.

Examples;

Book of Illusions; Color Spray, Invisibility, Displacement added to spell list,

Book of Pyromancy; Burning Hands, Fireball added to spell list,

Book of Conjuration; Summon 1, Summon 2, Summon 3 added to spell list,

Book of Transmuting; Expedious Retreat, Bull's Strength, Cat's Grace, Slow added to spell list,

And so on and so forth.

These books could also give other perks such as small skill bonuses and maybe bonus feats in rarer cases and maybe even bonus CL to certain spells. The books would vary in power also, from novice finds to master level books.
