After you find or buy a spell scroll, place it in your mage's inventory. Then right-click that scroll, if it shows a "learn spell" button, then your character CAN learn that spell. In the character's personal information sheet, it states that character's percentage or chance to learn a spell. So when you click on the spell scroll's "learn" button. There is a chance that you will fail to learn that particular spell. So I would recomend saving your game before you attempt to learn a spell.

After he/she has learned that spell, go to their spell inventory window and it will state what spells you have learned, or "known spells". To the left are open slots inwhich you can place a specific spell (that you have learned) into, so that after your next resting you will have memorized it and it can be used. If your mage can't learn that particular spell (because of mage school conflictions) or you have already learned it. Then you can place that scroll into that mage's quick slot and it can be used without learning or memorization, however it will vanquish once it is used.

That mage in southern area of Nashkel is named Edwin. He is probably the most powerful NPC/mage in the game (I like quayle equally as well). However, he is Evilly aligned, very annoying, and requires that you eventually kill Dynaheir, who is being held captive at the Knoll Stronghold. If you have an evil or neutrally aligned main character, then you shouldn't have any problems with having Edwin, but remember to keep your reputation at or below 15 (roughly).
