Most spells in this book require much training before they can be effectively cast. [[Summon Elemental]] is very dangerous but a [[Fire Elementalist]] could make effective use of it after raising [[Fire Magic]] to 10 and using it with [[Conjure Flame]]; [[Earth Elementalist]]s have it easier, as they only need 5 in [[Earth Magic]]. Every other spell is valuable once the appropriate skill is raised to around 7-8, especially [[Haste]]. Bear in mind that [[magic contamination]] is still a risk even at higher levels.

Type Book
Name Book of Wizardry
A book of various magic spells, useful for any sufficiently-talented spellcaster. Mages of a scholarly nature consider it a point of pride to have contributed in some way to this work, though more than a few of them have been slain by jealous rivals using their own spells against them.

Summon Elemental can be dangerous without training in other schools, but the skill requirements aren't terribly restrictive. Haste is valuable to almost any character, while everything else here can be extremely useful to someone. Agony is an excellent damage source for Necromancy-specialists, Invisibility is wonderful for short blades-wielding stabbers, and Spellforged Servitor is a phenomenal damage booster for those who rely on Conjurations.
