Topic: Magic User and using Laboratories and Libraries

In the rulebook, it says that when a lab is in use, a portion of its cost is spent on the project. And I do not understand exactly when the laboratory is considered to be used. Only when he brews potions and creates / recharges staves and wands? Or is it always when the wizard is engaged in something magical, creates a magic scroll, somehow adds spells to his spellbook?

Re: Magic User and using Laboratories and Libraries

Whenever the Magic-User is getting the benefits a laboratory provides, as stated on page 82:

"The time required for items 1–5 is doubled if the
Magic-User is not working in a library worth at least
1,000 sp per level of the spell in question. Time to
create a potion is doubled if the Magic-User is not
working in a laboratory worth at least 1,000 sp per
level of the spell that the potion will duplicate. Creating
a wand or staff requires both a library and a
laboratory worth at least 1,000 sp each per highest
spell level included or the time is doubled."
