I didn't mean to say that realms are the ONLY source of spellpoints, because I'm pretty sure they're not. You get SP from PIE, for instance, and the spellbook skill does contribute (you'll notice this if you watch your SPs in a particular realm as your skills increase), I just think that your realms contribute more (or at least it certainly seems so). I believe if you right click on any of the individual realms, the description provided even says something about the skill affecting your capability of casting higher powered spells.

Spellbook points however, contribute immensely towards your effective spellcasting skill (which factors into when you get next level spells).

Your effective spellcasting skill is calculated by combining whatever your spellbook skill is, and 10% of whatever individual realm is relevant. For instance, if you have a 40 Alchemy skill, and a 10 in the water realm, your effective spellcasting skill for an Alchemy/Water spell would be 41.

That number, in addition to your character's level controls when you get next level spells. There is a minimum level requirement, and minimum skill requirement for each level of spells, and they only become available when you meet both requirements.

Now I just hope that all made sense. [img]smile.gif[/img]
