Reading Spellbooks in NetHack 3.4.3

Written by David Corbett on 22 October 2004.

This script will calculate the probability of successfully reading an uncursed spellbook.

Blessed spellbooks can always be successfully read. Cursed spellbooks will never be successfully read. If you unsuccessfully read a spellbook, you receive a bad effect.

If you're a Wizard, you'll be warned before trying to read any uncursed spellbook when your success is less than 100%.

See spl1-343 for details on the effects of failing to read a spellbook, and levels for each spellbook.
