The spell memorization ability of a mage increases with his experience level. There is a table in the back of the manual that tells you exactly how many spells of which spell levels a mage can use at his /her current experience level. So, in case that that is your question: spell levels and character experience levels are two separate concepts.
Also, using/memorizing spells is different from copying spells from scrolls to the spellbook: a first level mage can copy a level 9 spell to his spellbook, but then has to wait all the way until he/she reaches level 18 (what will never happen in this game
unless you remove the experience cap) to be finally able to memorize/use the spell. He/she could, of course, instead opt for just using the spell -immediately but only once - from the scroll.
I hope I was helpful.
So long,
Ramon
