Six, ALL the 10th level spells (the Mage's High Level Ability picks, except the extra spells) are actually considered as a 9th level spells - they take level 9 slots! How rude! [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Thus, if at level 18 i choose Timestop as a spell, and Improved Alacrity (assuming sorcerer, but also true for mages) as an Ability, and i have 3 casting of level 9 per day, and i'll cast Timestop, i will be able to cast two more Timestops or Improved Alarcrity.
Simple, eh?
[/QUOTE]Actually, Alson, I was talking about the Sorcerer's learning power, not casting power. My question was, "Is it possible for a Sorcerer to know 5 Level 9 spells AND 5 Level 10 spells, or just 5 spells from Levels 9 and 10 put together?

And incidentally, I don't mean to disparage Sorcerers, but to me it looks like they're not that different from a simple Conjurer. Except for being able to cast True Sight and not having to choose their spells the night before, Conjurers have just the same amount of casting power and don't have to worry about picking spells.
