The ultimate anti-piracy protection for ancient magic. Celtic druids were the mystical, legal, and medical authority of their tribes, and they enforced a strict ban on recording their knowledge in writing. They claimed it weakened the memory, but realistically, it ensured their absolute job security. A druid in training had to spend up to 20 years memorizing massive poetic epics just to get certified. If you forgot a line of the spell, you just had to awkwardly fake it in front of the chieftain.
