All the details on spell learning (including if/when you change a character's profession), can be found here. Also, check out the signature below, might be of interest to you because it will do all the calculations for you.

Edit, added: To quote the web page...

To become eligible to learn new higher level spells for your class, you have to meet 2 requirements: 1) minimum level in *THAT* class (not over-all), and 2) minimum skill, for *THAT* spell's spellbook & realm. 1) Minimum Level requirement: Pure Caster Classes: Mage, Priest, Psionic, Alchemist, Bishop Hybrid Caster Classes: Monk, Ninja, Ranger, Samurai, Lord, Valkyrie Spell Level .... Min. Class Level ................. PURE .. HYBRID 1 ................ 1 ....... 5 2 ................ 3 ....... 7 3 ................ 5 ....... 9 4 ................ 8 ...... 12 5 ............... 11 ...... 15 6 ............... 14 ...... 18 7 ............... 18 ...... 22 2) Minimum Skill Requirement To calculate your effective skill level for a given spell: Take your highest spellbook skill (Wizardry, Divinity, Psionics, Alchemy) that the spell in question appears in. Important for bishops or class-changed characters, since many spells appear in multiple books. Add 10% of your *natural* skill in that spell's realm. This doesn't include temporary skill bonuses such as those from items (or profession bonuses). Spell Lvl ..... Min. Effective Skill Lvl 1 .................. 0 2 .................. 15 3 .................. 30 4 .................. 45 5 .................. 60 6 .................. 75 7 .................. 90 It's not as complicated as it sounds. Example: A mage, a pure caster, must be level 5 AND have an effective skill of 30 to learn Fireball, a third level Fire realm Mage spell. If he has 30+ skill in Wizardry, he's all set. He could also qualify if he has, say 28 in Wizardry and 20+ in Fire skill (10% rule).

Enjoy!
