Here are the top 4 results after a quick search regarding "Spellbook".

The mysteries of the Spellbook
[Spell] - Metamorphosis with Spellbook
[Spell] - Spell book
[General] - Spell Book How To add abilities or increase ability levels?

The last one even has the question you are asking (regarding levels) in the title. There is a lot of information on hiveworkshop you can gain by searching for past information.

hmmm

looks similar to my code...

but I was thinking if there was something more effecient than mine. this is quite tedious way to right; as you can see, the code is just so long, and for only 11 abilitites...

Back in the day the game had sort of a problem with If-blocks that have blank thens. I would suggest you invert your conditions and move the Else actions to Then actions. The way to simplify this code significantly is to use more array variables and instead of having a hardcoded check for each ability just to loop through them all and see which skill was used.

what sort of bug?
does inserting (do nothing) in the blank thens solve it? on what patch is the bug? Thanks!

That bug no longer exists, however, it is really bad practice to use an if/then/else statement for an if/then problem. Also, iterating through each possible spell on every spell cast is a recipe for disaster. You will introduce lag on every spell cast if you add too many spells. An alternative is GUI Spell Event. Also seeing is how each If/then/else statement is virtually identical, you can use scale-ability by simply increasing the triggering spell level.
