Hi semaj577: Hi The Imp:
My apologies for not replying sooner. I got stuck fixing my stepdaughter's computer and then ended up in the hospital. These two are not related. I am better now.
I appreciate the comments. One other thing I failed to consider was that my megamod game mat have a mod that messes up getting the spells. I am not certain about bard's ability to get the spells. I have a bard, two mage/thieves and a mage. None are a pure mage so maybe I should not expect that to work. I do have #9000 chosen.
After a short while the spells lose their usefulness, but it was helpful in the beginning.
semaj577 did find the post I mentioned.
Thanks again for your help. I will try using the spell books with all my bards and mages.
