Lulu shook the spellbook, pages flying about. "Lulu! Put that down!" Cody snapped. To the surprise of both of them, Lulu dropped the book. Lulu's startlement was immediately replaced, of course, by incandescent fury. She turned and lunged at the lichen, snapping at it in a wholly unproductive but impressively threatening display.
A blessed spellbook will always teach you the spell successfully. For uncursed spellbooks, your chance of success depends on the difficulty level of the spell.
