That's an interesting way to put it. So in a way, given that you are not just cut off, you are actively blocked, it is actually easier to attune to a found Grimoire than to one from a school you were in and then banned.

I guess this makes it hard to do the Wizard who "betrayed our school and stole our secrets". (Or, that wizard is nastily powerful enough to avoid/overcome the ban.)

What about where it mentions that other spells are sometimes learned since it is hard to attune new spells to a grimoire? Where do they come from, and are those banned too? LC
