Learn or Borrow Spells

Source Pathfinder Unchained pg. 65
To add new spells to your spellbook, or to prepare a spell out of someone else’s spellbook, you must succeed at a Spellcraft check.

TaskSpellcraft DC
Learn a spell from a spellbook or scroll15 + spell level
Prepare a spell from a borrowed spellbook15 + spell level


Action: Learning a spell takes 1 hour per level of the spell (or 30 minutes for a 0-level spell). Preparing a borrowed spell is a part of spell preparation and doesn’t add any extra time.

Try Again: If you fail to learn a spell from a spellbook, you can try again after 1 week. If you fail to prepare a spell from a borrowed spellbook, you can’t try again until the next day.
