Potion of genius is both relatively inexpensive and rather easy to find. I usually will store up scrolls until I get 1-2 scroll cases full, quaff one potion, the scribe all of the scrolls. Once you get your intelligence to 19 or higher, you can store an unlimited number of spells in your book, which will allow you to circumvent the limit on number of spells per spell level imposed by 18 or lower intelligence.

Remember, intelligence only applies when adding spells to spell books, and has no effect on actual spellcasting. Thus, as long as you have potions of genius, you can just store up your scrolls, quaff a potion, and scribe away without limit.

The other items work, but other than potion of mind focusing they are much harder to find. And mind focusing is usually a better bet against a certain type of opponent that you will run into later (extra intelligence to survive + extra dexterity to avoid getting hit in the first place).

Identify? At lower levels especially, it is realy handy to have some of them memorised.

Originally posted by Mad Menno: Howdy, I kinda screwed up edwin, i learned like every lvl 1 2 3 spells and didn't know wizzards had a maximum amount of spells they can learn per inteligence. Now i did almost every quest in the big city and can't learn new spells, i don't have lvl 8 and 9 spells and only a couple of 6 and 7 level spells. Is there a way he can forget spells or learn more? Is there a ring +inteligence or something? If i just can't learn more with him i like to know if there are other evil or perhaps neutral wizzards. If there aint more of that kind maybe you guys know a evil/neutral sorc. Thnx in advance, Mad Menno

The max number of spells is applied to each spell level. So you may have maxed out levels 1, 2, and 3 but that doesn't prevent you from learning higher level spells. It's only that you need to use one of the intelligence boosters if you want to add another low level spell since those levels are maxed out.

Edwin's Lore is hacked (the only NPC who can beat him is Haer'Dalis), so he really doesn't need Identify all that often, and even then he can still use the Glasses of Identification. Plus there are all those Identify scrolls that can be used by your backup Wizard, or Thief with UAI.
