Misfirings from my Neurons

A frequent question to me was how long does it take, in game, to learn enough about a spell list, from a tome or teacher, so that a caster can then spend DP on the list next level? This is what we call "Opening a List." The character needs to spend an hour per DP cost of the spell list (example: a 2/* list takes 2 hours, a 10 list takes 10 hours) with a teacher or appropriate subject matter (tome, library etc.), Once done, the character can spend DP to try to learn the list the next level.

All my players found this agreeable and slot said time into their activities during a level. Some poke through the Arcane Guild while others study with each other.
