I even tried loading the default UI to see if my UI was missing something and cant get it to pop up there. When opened in SidlWidl, it looks kind of like a cross between the Default_Old spell book and the new Default spell book, and it has the new scribe buttons there, but ingame, I dont see it anywhere. This is only out of curiosity, the may 16 patch had no affect on my UI that I can see.

When opened in SidlWidl, under default, it has a completely different graphic than the spell book, so I dont see it being used as an adjunct to the spell book. I wonder if Sony just messed up and stuck the buttons in the wrong book.

Ok heres my thoughts, if the book window is for the books in game (tradeskills) Maybe they are going to make spell scrolls readable as a book item, then also make them castable from that window or scribeable.... Like in Bauldersgate, you can right click on a spell and scribe it, or cast it from the scroll, I wonder if they are going to do that? It would make it so casters dont have to keep the spell up, they could cast this from inventory by reading the scroll.... Possibilitys at least.

Not to mention the text is clearly meant for the spell book and not a tradeskill book. It looks to me like they just goofed up the UI again, would not be the first time.
