The Science of Magic: How the Wizard Bends the Laws of Nature

Once upon a time, in a faraway land, there lived a wise and powerful wizard. He was known throughout the land for his extraordinary abilities and mystical powers. People from all walks of life would seek his guidance and seek his help in times of need. One day, a young and brave knight came to the wizard seeking assistance on a dangerous quest. The knight had heard of the wizard's incredible powers and hoped that he could receive a spell or potion that would aid him on his journey. The wizard listened attentively to the knight's story and pondered for a moment.

I've had it before where the spellbook could be treated as a sort of pseudo-scroll, in that you've written it down to be able to learn it with study every day, but you can cast it directly from the page with the side-effect being the spell text gets wiped from the book forcing you to find another scroll to learn it from.

Civilized spell casters pretty much never do this making even apprentices maintain their own spell books but its fairly common among goblinoids were access to spell books and writing material is very constrained.

The wizard listened attentively to the knight's story and pondered for a moment. He knew that his magic had the power to assist the knight, but he also knew that the knight himself held great strength and courage. Instead of providing a spell, the wizard decided to teach the knight a valuable lesson about the true power of magic.

Does a Wizard need a spellbook to cast spells, or just to prepare them?

I had recently gotten into an argument with a fellow player on the subject of how spellbooks work. Specifically, does a Wizard require access to his book in order to cast spells, or just to prepare them? In context we were facing against an enemy party that included a wizard, and the player mentioned suggested trying to shoot the Wizard's spellbook using his bow in order to sunder it and, he assumed, disable all her prepared spells. I and some other players contested that and in the end he decided to just shoot her in the head instead, but just to double check: would that have worked or not?

He took the knight deep into the forest, where they stumbled upon a seemingly ordinary stone. The wizard picked up the stone and held it in his hand. With a wave of his wand, the stone began to glow and emit a soft, enchanting light. The knight was astonished and asked the wizard how such a simple stone could possess such magic. The wizard smiled and explained that it wasn't the stone itself that held the power, but rather the belief and intention behind it. He told the knight that magic was not just about spells and potions, but about having faith in oneself and the world around them. It was about tapping into one's own inner strength and channeling that energy towards achieving their goals. The wizard then handed the stone to the knight and told him to hold onto it throughout his quest. He advised the knight to believe in the power of the stone and the magic within himself. With the stone as a physical symbol of his inner strength, the knight would be able to face any challenge that came his way. As the knight embarked on his journey, he held the stone close to his heart and repeated the words of the wizard. Every time he faced a difficult situation or felt his resolve waver, he would grasp the stone and remind himself of his own power. In the end, the knight successfully completed his quest, not because of any external magic or assistance, but because he had found the true magic within himself. He had realized that he didn't need spells or potions to overcome obstacles, but rather his own belief and determination. The wizard had taught him a valuable lesson that day - that true magic lies within each and every one of us. We just need to believe in ourselves and have the courage to tap into that power. And with that knowledge, the knight went on to become a great hero, inspiring others with his own story of the wizard who taught him to cast his own magic..
