Regarding Necromancy of Thay - the way the text iust written for your examining of it strongly implies that it has much more powerful magic to bestow, if you were of a higher level and greater spellcasting capability... but that because you are not, it all slips through your fingers and is lost. My plan, for one file at least, is to keep the book and not let anyone have or examine it, until I have access to 5th level spells (where a lot of our strong necromancy spells come in) at least.
That's a good idea and definitely worth a try.
I wonder what the consequences of reading this book are for our character (or for Gale or Astarion). And if we give the book to a companion, do they automatically succeed or fail their wisdom saving throws when they are trying to read it?

I hope so, too. It would be nice if a companion's character arc could go in different directions, influenced by our interactions and decisions.
The potential for them should be there, I think, else we wouldn't have in-depth discussions about these characters, with valid arguments from different sides.
