This assumption may be in error.<br /><br />On the other hand, there's no penalty associated with hauling around a spell book and there is no mention of a difference in casting time between a 'memorized' spell and a 'read' spell.<br /><br />Granted, there must have been some intended benefit for memorized spells, but the rules are not explicit in this regard. What is the implied limit on the number of memorized spells? Should it be assumed that any memorizable spell is automatically memorized? Is this 'Vancian' memorization that requires a spell to be re-memorized after every casting? Why is it that any spell can be memorizable via the study rules, but only some spells are memorizable by default?<br /><br />I agree that "Simple, real English" is a wonderful thing. Unfortunately, in this case, there isn't enough of it (in my opinion).<br /> perdustinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05842738630442736894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2589165667013235064.post-17767130859284526462012-09-10T05:56:11.849-04:002012-09-10T05:56:11.849-04:00Maybe memorized means "memorized", as in...Maybe memorized means "memorized", as in, you don't need to haul your book around to use it.
