mage book

how do you put more spells in the mage book or the priest scrolls or can you even do this. i received this game in a package deal and didn't recieve a instruction book so i've been wingin' it.

Clerical spells are blessings from your deity, and thus at level up, they are given to you, (based on your stats)...Some clerical spells are found as scrolls, and can be used once.

Mage spells are bought, found, stolen, etc...in scroll form. They can be memorized by opening the scroll and choosing the Memorize button. Depending on how smart you are, you have a % chance at learning the spell into your book. If you fail, you lose the scroll. (It burns up upon being read). Buy potions to raise you stats for a better chance.

High level spells will do you no good to memorize, if you do not have a slot on your page to put one in, thus you lose the scroll because you are not high enough level to use that spell. Make sure you have a slot available in your left hand pages of your mage book before memorizing spells into the right hand side. You can ignore this caution with lower level spells that you are sure to reach, at some point in the game. (EX...you don't want to learn any 9th level spells into your book, though if you find a scroll of 9th level, you can use it, once, without memorizing.)
Does that make sense???

Something I've found helpful when writing a new scroll is to save before hand. This way if you fail to write it you can reload and try again. Just be sure to save after you write it so you don't have to do it over again. BTW I'm not sure if that's concidered "cheating" or if you would use such methods. Just thought I'd pass that along

If you want to strictly respect the role playing aspect, then you wont reload, but many of us do this though.

Night is not always that, what it looks like...

This is Super-wise counsel
