Items in a spellbook

You can't buy items from within a spell book right?

If you could control a neutral unit and open its spellbook, you could "buy" items through triggers.
Maybe the shop sharing skill allows this, I don't know. Never tried it.

I just need someway for a hero to "create" items for himself. But I'd rather not do this with triggers. I want to use wc3's built in gold system if possible.

In that case, yep, you can't do it.

The game Rural Zombie Onslaught does a nice job of self-item creation, by the way, but I would imagine that it's trigger intensive. It uses building structures with the pathing of a barrel to create items on the ground, and that uses Warcraft's build-in gold system.
The only problem is that it requires a target, and the items must be picked up.
