Are there anymore recipes other than those speicifies on the tomes??? That Sael guy seems to suggest that there are others, but you need to experiment to find them? I've been fiddling about, but can't seem to do anything except kill myself from that stupid chest's lightning strike.

I assume you mean making items. Try checking other threads about it. I seem to remember seeing several.

There are several "Lab notebooks" one will find in varying places....the only one that comes to mind as I speak is the one in the Wizard's Dungeon when you rescue Nax while trying to get the snow globe. I have seen others including one in the Tower in Luskan. Check the bookshelves and bookpiles closely when moving through areas, desks also.
