Secret Spells learned in Game

In the course of the campaign, the secretness of the spell is represented by the stuff you have to go through to persuade someone to teach it or find a book that has it. It will be much more difficult to even find a source for the information. But it won't take more hours to learn it. I probably wouldn't let them be bought with exprience points though, because you can't have experience in something you've never done.

For those, no I require study time which is a precious commodity for my PC's. Want to learn that super secret spell from the Archmage you did a favor for (or) make some more temp. enchantment fireball coins?

If anyone is curious I decided to require the time spent for the spell itself but a earned CP if you are looking for the spell or a freebie if you just learn it from a grimoire or something like that. It's worked out well so far and my next "cross-over" is two weeks from this Wednesday. I can't wait!

Thanks for everyone who helped me out.
