Yeah - it might be fun, if it were an optional game mode, but as others have pointed out, the luck scale is already way too weak (primarily because of the random nature of magic sites, imo*). Making spell acquisition random as well...

Maybe if the spells to be found on the map were predetermined, but not their location, and luck/misfortune modified the chances of finding a scroll in a particular province? Still, the possibility of getting ... fire spell scrolls while playing Pangaea, for instance, might still make it too random for good MP experiences, and it would also devalue research and research strategy.

* Having Luck 3 or Misfortune 3 doesn't affect finding sites, which is certainly a matter of "luck" in the game. If I find ... the summoning circle, or the Oak of Ages (enchantment 50 bonus), or various sites that allow cheap blood/death mages or loremasters, etc, that is such a huge lucky event that the events from luck or misfortune are trivial in comparison.
