I imagine that the wizard have to search their mental "spellbook" just as they would a physical one, but would it take the same amount of time?

- Also, in Complete Arcane they introduce reserve feats, which for wizards rely on having a specific, prepared spell, and for sorcerers the right spell known. How could a Bookish Wizard make use of reserve feats, if they so desired (this is ignoring the questionable value of many reserve feats)? Paleomancer 20:41, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
- The Bookish Wizard has no spells known or spells prepared, now do they. If it's really important to you, using Spell Mastery to pretend that a spell is one that you know for your reserve feats probably wouldn't be too good.
- Imagine that the full-round action spent remembering a spell you have Mastered is your character trying to reconstruct the spell in their head: "So then I say 'Mort' while thinking of butterflies and doing a jumping jack, right? No, not quite; it's 'Morb'.". After all, it takes a normal Wizard an hour to reconstruct all the spells they have Mastered, now doesn't it. --Foxwarrior 21:15, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
