11-09-07, 12:16 AM I found a book 'o epic-y-like spells in a game, what would I have to do to be able to cast these spells? According to ELH you have to develop a spell so you can know/prepare it, but what if those spells are already developed, do I have to now re-develop them, just so I can now cast them?

11-09-07, 12:40 AM The ELH has rules for putting an epic spell onto a big stone tablet (Ten Commandments-style); another epic spellcaster can learn it without development. So replace the tablet with a book, and there you go.
