learning spells from other wizards' spellbooks

Hello all!
I have always played sorcerers when I decided to create an arcane char, so my knowledge of their "more intelligent" colleagues is almost zero. Some days ago I made a build (and started to play) of a drow wizard (maybe some fo you can remember me asking in the forums
). According to the wikia, wizards can learn new spells by leveling, from scrolls and from other wizards' spellbooks. The first two options are simply and clear, but making some research in the Internet has not given me any clue about the last option. So, is this possible? And if so, how does it work?
Thanks in advance!

Wizards get scribe scroll for free at level 1. Scribe and provide!

What "other wizard's spellbooks" means is that another wizard scribes it for you and hands you the scroll.

Ah! That has sense, thanks for the answers!
But that leads me to another little doubts. Are all spells scribeable? If not, can some info related to this be found somewhere? And do all spell scrolls have a chance to drop as loot? Sumarizing, this is to know if it's possible to have all the arcane spells written on the spellbook and what path follow to achieve it (although some are not useful at all
).

You want this list
It's missing a few entries, but basically every standard NWN1/2 spell can be scribed, custom server spells (eg teleport, sending) cannot be.
Also keep in mind the server has a script to check your total number of scribed wizard spells. Once you hit 250 (or so I've heard) a random assortment of spells will be culled from your spellbook. This is because at 255 spells, logging in to the server will cause it to crash.
So basically you want to pick as many custom spells as you can when you level up, and get the remainder from stores or other players.

Thanks for the info. I'm going to check that list.
But I have still one doubt: do all scrolls have a chance to drop as loot? If so, the approach I could take to this can be slightly different.

Yup, scrolls drop as loot!

Great! Then the "collection" time has already started
