Do Wizards Pay Money To Learn New Spells?

My gut tells me no.

- Yes, you need a chest or lab to research a new spell.
- Yes, you need a chest or lab to cast a spell from a book.
- No, you don't need a chest or lab to learn a spell from a book (or teacher).

Unless the book you're learning from is in your own home, though, you are going to need to think about room and board. IMHO the Wizards' Guild will provide room and board for "free", ie in return for some small chores while you're staying and also because you're already paying 1% dues per month. So that means you can study at the guild house "library", or with a guild teacher (you may end up paying this latter additional fees).

If you're *not* in the Wizards' Guild, obviously all bets are off and you could end up paying heftily. In that case you probably want to buy a magic book and hole up somewhere to study.

All IMHO of course. :)
