* At each wizard class level after the first, wizards learn two more wizard spells from among those belonging to their Arcane School (or its complementary schools), selected from any spell level they are able to cast at the time they gain the new level.  That is, a second level wizard may only learn new spells from their 1st-level spell list, since they are not yet able to cast 2nd level or higher spells.

* Wizards can also scribe new spells into their spellbooks, if they are able to procure scrolls or some other source of a spell that is present on their spell list (i.e. from among those within their chosen Arcane School and its complementary schools, and of a spell level they are able to cast).  [[Between_Adventures#Inscribe_Spells_Into_A_Spellbook|Scribing a spell]] into the wizard's spellbook typically requires a quiet workspace and a number of days equal to the spell's spell level, though this time can be adjusted downwards (to a minimum of 1 day) with a high Bailiwick skill check, made at the time they begin the scribing work.

* There is no limit to how many spells a wizard can know, between the number of spells they know from leveling up, and those they scribe into their spellbooks from scrolls.  Eventually, a wizard can learn all the spells on their list, with enough time and persistence.

* Technically, wizards are allowed to scribe spells into their spellbooks from schools they are unable to cast.  Doing so '''''does not''''' give them the ability to cast these spells.  However, upon reaching 16th level in the wizard class, wizards gain a class feature called [[Wizard#Occultis_Mysteria_.28Su.29|Occultis Mysteria]], which grants them permanent bonuses based on the number of spells they know (i.e., those recorded in their spellbooks) from each school of magic.  It can therefore be very advantageous for wizards to scour the world to locate new spells to scribe into their spellbooks, even if they are not spells the wizard can ever cast (because they belong to opposition schools to their chosen Arcane School).
