Permanently acquiring Shovel

https://bg3.wiki/wiki/Shovel_(familiar)

Notes

• You can't learn to summon Shovel during the first conversation if you cast the spell from the scroll.
• Some classes can learn it if they speak with Shovel after that. But not always and I haven't figured out why (yet?).
• If a wizard scribed the spell and follows some dialogue rules, another caster can then also learn to summon Shovel permanently.
• This worked with wizard, warlock and sorcerer - subclasses made no difference in my tests.
• A character can temporarily respecc for this method and the spell stays available even when changing to a non caster again.
• Sorcerer have class specific dialogue options when summoning Shovel from the scroll but none of them led to learning the spell
• Warlocks can sometimes learn Shovel if he summons her from the scroll, disguises himself and talks to her again - that did not work consistently and needs further testing.
