I accept that to do what I want legally, I need to do one level into magus, arcanist, or wizard.

Rant: The arcane writing system allows for every single thing short of a non-wizard writing spells in a spell book. A sorcerer could craft a scroll of Vanish. A rogue with spellcraft could tell you Vanish is written in a spellbook. An expert with Master Craftsman, Craft Wondrous Items, and ranks in Profession Scribe but no ranks in spellcraft and Knowledge Arcana can create a page of spell knowledge for Vanish.

But a sorcerer with spellcraft can't look at a spellbook and copy the writing into another spellbook.

What exactly is the difference between a spell written in a scroll and a spell written in a spellbook?

I know mechanically the scroll is consumed when cast or when copied into a spellbook.

But just the fact that a scroll can be copied into a spellbook tells me the actual arcane writings in a scroll and a spellbook are the same.

I have a sorcerer who's gimmick is that he is presenting himself as a wizard. To that end, is there any rule prohibiting him from maintaining a spellbook as if I were a wizard? I understand this would not add to my spells known or allow me to cast spells from my spellbook. This is primarily for flavor and to potentially fool other players and their characters.

I plan to pay the gold to write all of his spells in the spellbook and make spellcraft checks. Provided I make the appropriate payments and succeed my checks:

Would another wizard be allowed to copy spells from my spellbook?

Would I be able to copy the spells from another wizard spellbook?

Would I be able to purchase new spells that I do not know between scenarios?

POTENTIAL ABUSE: Because of the Ring of Spell Knowledge allows you to teach it a spell you encounter in written form, maintaining a spellbook in this fashion would allow me as a sorcerer to reference a spellbook as a standard action to "learn" a spell.
