Spellcrafting is very similar to working in a lab; you have to keep track of everything you use, how you use it and in what proportions, how you combine it, and the results, in order to be able to replicate the experiment at a later date. Record keeping is crucial: it allows you to go back and do a postmortem of sorts on your spell to understand why it succeeded, or why it didn't. If you haphazardly toss stuff together, and something goes dreadfully wrong, then you won't be able to refer back to the spell in order to undo it.
Records allow you to analyze the data in order to ascertain times of personal power for you, to change small things in order to understand how each component influences the outcomes, to use a proven successful spell again, and to rewrite a faulty spell, among other things. Records also document a very personal journey through the world of enchantment and transformation.
The collection of notes and records will become a valuable reference as you evolve as a spellcaster.
