I grabbed the mook and got him up 1 lvl so I could give him the ID spell (9th lvl and he doesn't even come with it?). I'll use him now and then as I need to.
FWIW, next time it might be easier just to buy a Book of Relics from Anna.

I'm getting to where I pick fewer and fewer spells at level-up time, at least for spell levels 1-4; instead I visit the shopkeepers and buy the books. Ferro sells most of the level 5 spells of interest, but I usually pick at least a couple of them before I get to him (Purify Air at the minimum, for the SE Wilderness Death Lords). As nearly as I can determine, you can buy books for all but 4 of the spells in levels 1-5, and you can find a book for 2 of those 4. And there are 3 sets of Set/Return Portal books to be found, so you can have those well before you get to Ferro. This is especially key for a Bishop: unless you're going to play until s/he reaches character level 101 (is that even possible?), the only way to get all the need/nice-to-have spells--much less all of them--is from buying/finding books.
