I'm trying to create a magic spellbook that allows a wizard to add a few spells to their spellbook outside the wizard class. I'm seeing ways to create a magic item that allows someone to cast spells, but not something that just expands on what the wizard can prepare. Any thoughts on how to do that/if possible to do that in ddb magic item creator or do we need to just have it external?
(really I'm trying to have the spellbook randomly show some spells a few of which are non-wizard spells, but the above hurdle I feel is the biggest difficulty).
Unfortunately, D&D Beyond's homebrew system mostly only supports doing things that official items can do. Adding additional spells to a Wizard's existing spellbook, or increasing the number of spells a Wizard can prepare, aren't supported.

The two ways I could see implementing it.
1. Homebrew a feat. Start with ritual caster as a base, but then remove class/ritual restrictions. And then use that as your 'spellbook' there.
2. For each spell that you want to add, homebrew the spell and add wizard to the classes. Then you can add them on a wizard.
This is a signature. It was a simple signature. But it has been upgraded.
