Welcome to Ironworks and the IWD forum, Gmmullen. [img]graemlins/happywave.gif[/img]

Don't be sorry. All of us were once at the stage you're now at.

As Marty said, your F/M/T is probably wearing armour. Thieves can only use the majority of their skills in studded leather or leather armour. Detect Traps works in any armour.

Identifying scrolls should not be a problem. Just right-click on them in the inventory screen, and the description pops up. Your mage can learn the mage spells by clicking on the Write Spell button at the bottom; save your game first, so that you can reload if your mage failed to learn it on the first go. Note that neither mages nor priests can write priest scrolls - priest automatically have full access to each level of spells once they level up high enough to use them. The only uses for priest scrolls involve casting or selling them. Only priests can cast spells off of priest scrolls.

If you're in Chapter One, you can sell (and buy) scrolls and a few items to/from Orrick, a mage in the tower in the top left of the Kuldahar map. His inventory changes and grows at each successive chapter, so it's well worth checking in with him occasionally.

You may wish to pick his pockets a couple times. Save before any attempt to pick pockets, because a failed attempt means the whole town can turn hostile.

Feel free to post any more questions you have, no matter how silly you think they are.

Edit: spelling and typing skills are severely compromised at this time of night. I'm gonna go to bed.
