Banishing 1 Spellcaster-Type monster from your Graveyard and revealing 1 "Spellbook" Spell Card other than "Spellbook of Life" in your hand is a cost to activate "Spellbook of Life".: Spellbook of Life
"Spellbook of Life" targets 1 Spellcaster-Type monster in your Graveyard.
The resolution of "Special Summon that target in face-up Attack Position" and the resolution of "equip it with this card" are considered to happen at the same time.
The effect "The equipped monster's Level is increased by the Level of the monster that was banished for this card's activation." does not start a Chain Link. It is applied as soon as the targeted Spellcaster-Type monster is Special Summoned from the Graveyard and is equipped with "Spellbook of Life". If "Spellbook of Life" is destroyed, the effect stops applying, and the Level of that monster returns to its previous value.
If "Spellbook of Life" is destroyed by the effect of "Mystical Space Typhoon", the Special Summoned Spellcaster-Type monster is not destroyed and remains on the field. Furthermore, the Level increased by "Spellbook of Life" returns to its previous value.: If "Spellbook of Life" is destroyed, is the Special Summoned monster destroyed?
Since "Stargrail Shrine Maiden Eve" is a Spellcaster-Type monster, it can be Special Summoned with the effect of "Spellbook of Life". For example, if you banish "Stargrail-Bearing Priestess" and choose "Stargrail Shrine Maiden Eve" as the target of the Special Summon, "Stargrail Shrine Maiden Eve" is Special Summoned and is equipped with "Spellbook of Life". Since "Stargrail Shrine Maiden Eve" is a Link Monster, it does not have any Level. In this case, the effect "The equipped monster's Level is increased by the Level of the monster that was banished for this card's activation." of the equipped "Spellbook of Life" is not applied. (The Level is not treated as 2.) Also, since a Link Monster does not have any Level, "Stargrail Shrine Maiden Eve" cannot be banished from the Graveyard as a cost to activate "Spellbook of Life".: Can a Spellcaster-Type Link Monster be Special Summoned with the effect of "Spellbook of Life"?
"Spellbook of Life" can be activated during the same turn in which the effect of "Temperance of Prophecy" was activated. Also, if "Spellbook of Life" is activated during the same turn in which the effect of "Temperance of Prophecy" was activated, it cannot Special Summon a Spellcaster-Type monster whose original level is 5 or higher. Furthermore, a Spellcaster-Type monster whose original level is 4 or lower can be Special Summoned with the effect of "Spellbook of Life".: After the effect of "Temperance of Prophecy" is activated, can "Spellbook of Life" be activated?
