You can make it in Trigger editor to look like you add a spell to a spellbook

make two spell books (one of it going to be a dummy)
the main spell book won't contain any spells
the dummy will contain the spell you're going to add to the unit
set the books order ids to the same
give the main spellbook to the unit via object editor

from now any time you want to add the unit the spell (contained by the dummy)
give the unit the dummy spellbook and disable it
so it won't be visible
and because their id is the same the spell will appear in the main spell book too

this way you will need 'n' dummy spellbooks for n spells
all goes the same

he says u make a spellbook for each ability and one main spellbook than disable the spellbooks that contain the abilities so that way when u add them they will add onto the main spellbook.

Dont worry about the base order id if u only have one spellbook. if u just copy it it will work

Let's say you have 3 spells (A/B/C), total Spell Book will be 8:
Spell Book Default - Shows 3 spells, but all of them are unavailable - you can make it Upgrades, etc.
Spell Book A - A
Spell Book B - B
Spell Book C - C
Spell Book AB - A/B
Spell Book AC - A/C
Spell Book BC - B/C
Spell Book ABC - A/B/C

Wow! I thought it can not be achieved
but i found a solution to your problem

just add the main spellbook to your hero
add the dummy spellbook (containing the 2 spells) to the main spellbooks list

set the dummy spell books cast time to a hilarious amount ( 99999 )

the caster will be the first spell book so this won't mess up your character
and it won't open for you for a long time:D ( makes it almost unable to open :p )

or maybe i can put a fake passive skill with no effect for the hero, and then i give the hero a spellbook that contains these 2 spells, after that i disable the spellbook, and i set the level of the skills in the spellbook equal to the level of the fake passive skill?
