Which is the general idea. The GURPS way is generally not to unilaterally forbid something, but instead show why it's a bad idea, or at least rare.
There's likely to be some fairly nice point-blank spells (my current build of
Burning Hands is cheap), and I definitely don't want to see heavily armored mages on the front line burning mooks to death.

Not having your spellbook should not allow you to spend any more points in new spells, and perhaps you may even add a compulsory Limitation to Sorcerous Empowerment that requires you to have the book to improvise a spell (turning to the right page).

I'll have to re-read Unreliable, but that is definitely looking in the right direction.
The plan is traveling spellbooks just have 'pre-built' spells, while everything else is assembled from first principles using libraries of research material. (Yeah, currently planning on not using the
Sorcery Improv rules; but that also goes back to pre-
Sorcery thoughts, so I need to reconsider still.)
