I've only really just noticed this recently. How come is it, that after you've read one spellbook and it disappears, and then you read a different spellbook (but the same spell) straight after, it always tends to disappear on its first or second reading? ----- Ladies and Gentleman, take my advice.

imho, then you read same (by spell an status)spellbooks cycle in your inventory. so if you have a cuople in inventory each time you read another one. A root is a flower that disdains fame. Kahlil Gibran(1883-1931) |

yep, that seems to be the case. get a cursed, uncursed and blessed book of the same thing and read them, you'll see the cycle easily. and assuming that all spellbooks can be read the same number of times (which i have no real proof of right now), there'll be a cycle where they'll all disappear.

Blessed has more "readings". Uncursed has normal. Cursed has less. That is in addition to blessed being easier and more castings. I dunno about the cycle, could be b/u/c status, blind luck, or you could have something there. Homework is not meant for home! It's a sick verbal coincidence! -My brother |

As far as I know, its got relatiely little to do with the spellbooks status. I've had it happen with blessed ones as well as cursed. It just seems very strange that you can only usually get one or two readings afterwards. Of course, the way around it is just to wait a while, or read some different spellbooks in between. But still, it shouldn't really act like that. ----- Ladies and Gentleman, take my advice. Pull down your pants, and slide on the ice. Ladies and Gentleman, take my advice.

What happens is when you read a spellbook it gets taken out of your inventory (you can see this clearly if you're just slightly burdened before reading - your burdened status will disappear whilst you read) and when it gets put back it goes behind your other books. This means that if you have 3 ofthe same book and you try reading the first of those books 6 times in a row you'll actually read each one twice. Thus when you get the last reading on one, the others are near due their last reading too. If you drop your spellbooks and pick them up and read them one at a time this won't happen.
