I'm attempting to re-do DerVVulfman's Spellbook System:
Reasons, the script currently relies on Hit Rate and Variance to teach/require/remove skills. This limits you to having all your spells in the 1-100 range. I unfortunately have all my melee/character skills from 1-100 and have over 175 spells in slots 151-325... This makes this script pretty much useless to me.
However, I'm going to attempt to remake it into a "hash/array" or something style any suggestions on other methods that would allow me to use this script to it's full potential without the limit of 1-100 hit rate/variance.. let me know!

# ** The Magey Mage's Spellbook System
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# by DerVVulfman
# version 1.0
# 10-20-2008
# RGSS / RPGMaker XP
#==============================================================================
#
# INTRODUCTION:
#
# This system permits you to create items within your RPGMaker database that
# can bestow a single 'skill' to one or more partymembers. This feature was
# available in earlier RPGMaker™ systems, now re-introduced.
#
# >>> The instructions are longer than the actual code. ^_- <<<
#
#
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# USAGE:
#
# --Spellbook Elements--
# This system requires you to create additional elements within the 'SYSTEM'
# database in your RPGMaker Design system. If you don't know what I mean,
# an element is something like 'Fire, Ice, Thunder, vs Poison' and the like.
#
# You may specify only one 'element' or multiple elements. The quantity is
# really up to you, but the elements must be consecutive in your list. No
# breaking up or spreading them about in the database. That means you can
# have them ordered like (18-Spellbook1, 19-Spellbook2, 20-Spellbook3), but
# not like (18-Spellbook1, 23-Spellbook2, 30-Spellbook3). It is important
# to keep them organized for the configuration section.
#
# You can name the elements anything you want, but it's understandable that
# they have descriptive names like 'scrolls', 'white magic', 'black magic'
# and the like.
#
# Now after creating the elements, go ahead and edit the configuration sec-
# tion of this script to accommodate the Spellbook Elements. As I mentioned
# earlier, the elements had to be consecutive... and not broken up. Now you
# will see why.
#
# The first configurable (SPBOOK_ID_START) is to be set to the ID number of
# your first Spellbook element. If the first element is 23, then please set
# this value to 23. The second configurable (SPBOOK_ID_NUMBER) informs the
# system how many Spellbook elements you have. If you crafted four elements
# for your project, enter 4. With this example... with a first Spellbook
# element being 23, your last Spellbook element would be #26 in your data-
# base.
#
#
# --Class Limitations--
# Not every class can use these items, right? ^_^ Heh, I didn't think so.
#
# The third and final configurable in this script is the SPBOOK_CLASSES
# value. This is a hash array that holds the ID values of classes that can
# use Skill-bestowing items, and the matching 'Spellbook Elements' they are
# permitted to use.
#
# The format for editing this array is like this:
#
# SPBOOK_CLASSES = { class_id => [ element_id, element_id, ... ],
# class_id => [ element_id, element_id, ... ], ... }
#
# As such, each class can have one or more Spellbook Elements from which it
# may learn from, and you can have multiple classes that can utilize these
# items. Or... you could just set up one class that only has one element.
#
#
# --Items--
# After creating your Spellbook Elements and configured which class(s) can
# utilize the Skill-Bestowing items... it's time to set up your items.
#
# Within the ITEM database of your RPGMaker system, create or edit an item
# and then click on (or tag) the Spellbook element(s) that identifies it. A
# Skill-Bestowing Item MAY have more than one Spellbook Element with it.
#
# After that, now is the time to set the 'skill' which this item will teach
# to the player character(s). Within the same ITEM, go down and find the
# 'Variance' field (at the bottom of the screen). By default, a newly made
# item has a '0'(zero) variance. Set the Variance to the ID value of the
# skill you wish the item to teach. If you set the value to 33, then the
# item will teach the 33rd skill (Venom). And if you set it to 7, the item
# will teach the 7th skill (Fireball). Values below '1' and above the total
# number of skills in the database are ignored to prevent errors.
#
# --Items (optional features)--
# As an optional feature, the system can require you to have a currently
# learned skill for a new skill to be imposed. By setting the 'Hit Rate'
# field in the ITEM database to a value other than 0, you inform the system
# that the 'Skill-Bestowing' item requires the character(s) to have a skill
# already learned. As expected, this value matches the ID value of a skill
# in your database. So, if the hit rate value is set to 62, then skill #62
# (typically 'Beast Slayer') will be needed to learn the new skill.
#
# Not only that... but as a bonus, this system will remove the old skill in
# favor of the newer one if the 'pdef-f' value of the item has been set to
# value of '1' or more. If set to '0', the skill is just learned, but if
# set to a value greater than '0', the old skill is lost and the new one
# remains.
#
# - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
#
# Be warned: Unless you are using these optional features, remember to set
# your 'Hit Rate' value to '0' (zero).
#
#
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# SCRIPT PLACEMENT:
#
# The basic function of this system is to bypass any other 'item effect' and
# to teach a skill. Unlike other scripts that edit the item_effect method,
# it does not change values or affect any other outcome with the exception
# of learned skills. As such, it would be best to place it BELOW any script
# that alters or changes the item_effect method.
