In one of our games we came across the spell book of a wizard that was dead. Sadly none in the party can use it as we have a sorcerer, and a witch.
So the question is, how much is it worth? I figured as a witch I might at least trade it in for scrolls of spells I can use to teach my pet.
4th - Detect Scrying, Locate Creature, Remove Curse, Scrying
3rd - Arcane Sight, Clairaudience/clairvoyance, secret page, tongues, Summon Monster III
2nd - Detect thoughts, flaming sphere, locate object, resist energy, see invisibility, summon monster II
1st Cause fear, comprehend languages, detect secret doors, detect undead, disguise self, identify, protection from evil, protection from law, true strike, magic missile
The rules say:
Selling a Spellbook
Captured spellbooks can be sold for an amount equal to half the cost of purchasing and inscribing the spells within.
Writing a spell into a spell-book costs 10 gp multiplied with the square of the spell level, while purchasing a spell usually costs half that.
So, purchasing and writing per level:
1st = 15 gp
2nd = 60 gp
3rd = 135 gp
4th = 240 gp
Your book has four 4th-level spells (total 960 gp), five 3rd-level spells (total 675 gp), six 2nd-level spells (total 260 gp), and ten 1st-level spells (total 150 gp), coming to grand total of 2,045 gp, so you could sell it for 1,022.5 gp.
