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 think this is not necessary. because when you only can use 2nd level spells, you acturally can learn the 3rd level spell for free without use a spell slot.
this is, you can use the book immeditately.
i suppose this book will have its continuing story.
