Fellow adventurers,

(Possible minor spoiler below, for those who have not completed ToFG)

I am playing IWD with HoW installed, and am having problems with getting the desired priest spells.

My priest was created in "full game" mode. He is Lawful Neutral, with abilities 18/18/18/10/18/6 (yes, I rolled for a while to get that). He went "semi-solo" through to the end of Vale (had some help in the rough spots) and then joined in with a party that was starting ToFG. The party he joined is now gearing up to enter Dragon's Eye. He is now at level 7, with access to level 4 priest spells.

Here's my problem: Several spells that I would really like to have in my priest's repetoire' are missing; and I can't seem to find a way to get him to memorize them. The spells that I really want that don't appear in his priest scroll are: 2nd-level spell "Entangle"; and 4th-level spell "Moonlight Wall." (He is missing others, as well; but I don't care too much about them.)

I tried going back to a save game, just before he leveled to 7, and re-leveled. No joy: the 4th-level spells are the same.

I couldn't find "Moonlight Wall;" but did buy "Entangle" from Orrick. However, my priest doesn't seem to have the option of memorizing it (maybe because it is the mage version of "Entangle?").

With a WIS of 18 and an INT of 10, I would expect my priest to at least be given the option of trying to memorize a spell.

So, my questions are:

1.) Can a priest learn a spell that was not alloted to him (like mages are able to do)?

2.) Is my priest maybe maxed out on the # of spells he can learn because of his INT=10 ?

3.) If the answer to "1.)" is "Yes," and the answer to "2.)" is "No;" then where do I acquire the desired priest spells? Can I purchase them somewhere (where?), or must I find them in treasure locations?

Thanks, in advance, for your help.
