### E.6.7: Record skill on scroll [1532]

      Usage:  USE 1532 <skill> [# days instruction] [book]
      Requires:  blank scrolls [84], 100 gold
      Time to learn: 28 days.
      Time to use: 7 days.

Create a book for the given skill, or add instruction to an existing book. The book can be used as a source of instruction. Books may be created only for category skills and teachable subskills.

If the days of instruction argument is missing, a default of 7 days is assumed. One scroll is required for every 7 days of instruction being added.

There is a cost of 100 gold to begin a new book. This covers the cost of the binding, covers, etc.

The skill must be known in order to be written. The character will still know the skill after writing it.

This skill requires one day for every page written.

The optional third argument is the id number of an existing book in the noble's possession. If this is a book for the given skill, then additional pages will be added to the book. In this case, there is no 100 gold fee to begin a new book.

1532 cannot be used to write books of any magic or religion skills.

Examples:

USE 1532 7

Creates a new book with 7 days of instruction in 1532.

USE 1532 3 j3k2

Adds three days instruction to book [j3k2], provided that book teaches 1532.
