[Congrats, Morgan. You're... well, you probably have no idea where you are. Judging from the surroundings, though, it seems to be a noble's home, late at night. The hallway is mostly dark, illuminated only slightly by light coming from other rooms, the air is silent—

—and then there sure is a knife flying straight at you.]

It must be similar at base, don't you think? The spirits are the energy source for the magic, in a way, and when we create a new spellbook, it's just trapping the magical energy in the book as well...

Hmm...now I wish I would have studied spell tome creation more...

[hammy]

Well, if you write down the magic circle on each of its pages, then sure, that'd probably work. But having to carry a book at all times and lose a hand for it—well, that puts you at a disadvantaged in close combat, so you're really better off just learning how to cast more quickly.

And that's not really how your tomes work, anyway...

[...hmm. And she blinks and shrugs.]

True enough! Spell tome creation has been a big thing in my world for a really long time, so it's no wonder they're good at it anyway.
