Hi, my current (first) character is a half-Elven Conjurer lv. 6 with 18 INT, but somehow I can't scribe Nondetection or Protection from Normal Missiles. I thought that maybe the Cloak of Nondetection was interfering, but that wasn't it either. Thanks in advance for any help!
Edit: on Nintendo Switch.

Go to a temple and buy a potion to boost your intelligence to 25 then try. Some spells can't be scribed depending on if you chose a specific school of magic or if the scroll is green or of divine magic (for example a mage can't scibe a scroll of restoration) so that could also be the case.
If you specialize your mage you can not learn spells from the opposite school, in your case divination.

I already knew that, which is why I specified the spells in question - both from the alteration school, with which I should have no problems. (I do by some strange quirk have Identify in my spellbook though, still can't scribe other divination spells.)
How did you manage to get Identify into your spell book?
I have no freaking clue, but I won't complain.
You might be at the cap on spells you can have scribed at 18 Int.
Is this a thing? I had no idea.
Yup, I’ve had to remove spells from my spell book to make room for more.
I believe at 19 Int you get unlimited space though, so if you get the Int Tome and bump yourself up to 19 everything should be fine. (I think.)
Or drink a potion.

Yes, that was it. Thank you very much!
Basically, when you go to either Sorcerous Sundries or High Hedge to load up on your spell book, pop a potion and then check what’s green.
