Where is Spell Knowledge Found?

Here’s a big old chart to get the old grey matter going. The entries given here are by necessity brief, but should form the germ of an idea. The entries run the gamut from the names of tomes containing arcane knowledge, to places where such knowledge might be found, along with rituals to perform to gain knowledge and weird activities that might also get you spell knowledge.
