I knew all that. And I know that I have ToB installed
All I wanted to nag around about was the lvl9 spell rule that obviously did not make it into the game.
My initial question was:
Is the fact that low int mages get lvl9 spells because of
a.) ToB so they don't miss out on HLAs - (then in SoA with XPcap remover they should NOT get them)
b.) because the programmers were too lazy
