Okay, I will. You were close, though, Downunda: Xan is actually an Enchanter, which means his "Opposition School" of magic is Invocation, a school that includes Magic Missile, Fireball, Lightning Bolt, etc. This means that Xan CANNOT scribe those scrolls to his book, although he CAN cast them directly from the scroll, or use Wands that give the same effect. Two other spells that Xan can't cast are Stinking Cloud and (I think) Web, which do not come in Wand form.
Dynaheir is the opposite: She is an Invoker, and therefore cannot cast Enchantment spells, such as Sleep or Charm Person, both of which can be VERY powerful, and she also cannot learn Conjuration spells, either, which means she can't do any Monster Summoning....although, again, you can find Wands of Sleep and Monster Summoning.
Choices, choices.
