The default spellbook has really large icons and lots of wasted space. I wanted to be able to see more of my spells on screen at once. Given that motivation, I created this Tiny Spellbook mod.
Update Nov 14: Added more spells per row and made the spellbook longer (fits more on screen)
For all casters, a perfect companion to this mod is my 5-row hotbar mod.

to install:
unzip to: put it in "My Documents\Neverwinter Nights 2\ui\default"
This should create a spells_known.xml file and a spells_memorized.xml file. All done!

I've been using this for over a week now and I just have to say it's the best spellbook I've seen in any of the UIs available here. It definately condenses the spellbook down to a more manageable level, but not to a point where the spells and icons are unrecognizable.
It's very handy and useful; I'd reccommend this for anyone and something like this should have been included in the original game as a option. :-)
Great work, Slate. :-)

Not so impressive (the old spell system looked more fascinating), but VERY VERY VERY usefull!

This is extremely useful, as the screen of Neverwinter Nights 2 was cluttered as is. Coupled with the smaller Large Map and the turned off Minimap, the screen is significantly less cluttered.
However, either it's the patch, or my low 800x600 resolution, but some spells have their icons are incorrectly displayed and have no name. It only happens to metamagic spells.
