Craftable colored spellbooks?

[Keltonator]

So, my UO history knowledge probably isn't up to the best of standards, so I don't know if this has ever been done before. But how about this:
Giving mobs that drop normal spell scrolls a small chance to drop a uniquely colored spell scroll, which can then be added to any normally crafted, normal plainly colored, empty spell book. And when that spell book has all 64 scrolls, it turns into the color of the scrolls added to it.
And as an added bonus, since we now have slayer spellbooks, maybe there could be some other incentive to make them like giving a small random chance at developing a slayer property permanently (not like the ones with charges).
They would be unblessed after they take on the new hue, properties, etc, until a bless deed is applied to them.
This thought came from finding this random pic on Google:

Obviously the hues aforementioned would need to be WAY more awesome than the ones shown here, but it gets the point across.


Discuss.

no, because then all other colored spellbooks will lose value, either get one from dono store, event reward or motm drop, also there is boold red and a black one that used to drop.

how would they lose value if they are not the same color? thats like saying the motm of cloth devalued tailor cloth because one had a blue hue and the other has a blue hue.

what rare spellbooks are there and what hues are they? of course they wouldnt copy other hues of spell books that are rare.

you think having dye tub hues are going to affect your blaze spell book? pure white spell book?

also besides the hues on the rare books, they are also labeled 99% of the time.

recently the server restarted and i lost a item i payed donation coins for due to the hue being changed. "No items will be replaced" -EVERYONE who works here this is how it is period. soooo with that being said, how can you even begin to ***** about hue when anything you have on, wearing,in your bank, locked down, etc could be changed/re hued and lose value at any time? kinda shocked you being the vet you are should know all about this.

its coming... sell those "rare" spellbooks
