Seems easy enough. Pattern the way spells are handled after skills
(which, obviously, have no mana cost) and then add in checks on learning
to see if they have already learned the max number for that level. Some
considerations might be a way to "un-learn" a useless spell (who ever
casts burning hands after they have fireball anyway :)

You might want to take a look at snippets for web and silence (because it
sounds like you are aiming for some sort of combination of those two
spells).
