I've created a random spellbook generator for PF1E wizards.
Yes, there already are spellbook generators out there, but my goal was to produce practical, realistic spellbooks, and not a spellbook filled with a random assortment of spells that no one actual has or uses. The intent is help GM's produce NPC spellbooks, as well as determine what spells might be available for trading when players visit a town.
You enter a spell caster level and specialization school (optional), and it will spit out a list of spells. It favors the "staple" spells that most wizards tend to have, the most common spells, and spells in the caster's specialization school. It then adds a smattering of the less common/rare spells for fun and flavor.
The caster level determines the spell levels as well as the number of spells, though you can influence the latter (and there's some randomness to that, as well).
The spells are pulled from the following hardcover books: Core, APG, and Ultimate *. As a convenience, spell names are links to full descriptions at the d20PFSRD site.

I've added the ability to adjust the weights of the source books, as well as exclude books entirely.
