Flavorful and Helpful Tomes for Spell Research, a concept

Hi Nexus!

I would like to get some opinions on something I started work on before I get too far into it. I always find it awkward to carry around tomes while using Spell Research since their purpose is to auto-learn the spells you're trying to learn through Spell Research, anyway. Ultimately, I just end up selling them. Also, I struggled to hone in on spells without having to use other sources other than the game itself as guides, which, of course, ruins ~immersion.~

 

I saw various similar ideas suggested in the comments for that mod, so kudos to them for the inspiration, but this is what I'm starting to implement. Essentially each tome would be modified to be a readable book that contains flavor text in the form of a general description of the spell, a set of "rules" that a mage should follow to execute the spell and possibly a suggested incantation that fits with the theme of the spell. Throughout the text, specific words would be highlighted that indicate which archetypes to use to learn that spell, to make it practical. The text is unique to the tome, but I'll probably end up reusing a lot of it for tomes spells that are mere upgrades of one another to expedite my workflow (e.g. Calm and Harmony)

 

Let me know if this sounds like something you would be interested in, I'd be happy to hear suggestions!

(Should I use any other method/color to highlight the archetypes? Should the text be snarkier, or more even-toned? etc.)
