At Catzenpewters suggestion, here's a tip;

After playing Wizardry 8 for awhile, I was continually finding spell books and being offered them from merchants in the game, but when my spellcasters would try to use them, would get this message "Bloggs is not powerful enough to understand the writing". Then I found an old message that had been posted here by one of the Wizardry 8 programming team (Alex Meduna, Wiz8 Lead Gameplay Programmer / Designer), I got the idea to make a spreadsheet to do the calcuations for me.

Basically, all you do is enter in your characters current stats, and the spreadsheet will tell you what spells you can learn, or for spells you're not yet able to learn, it will tell you how many points you need, or why your character can't learn the spell.

I've set up a web site where you can download it and see if this file is of help to you. Visit http://wiz8.web1000.com or http://wolfie.wiz8.de for all the details.

There's even a link of where you can download a FREE fully functional spreadsheet application (OpenOffice).

Spread the word
