Edwin is always going to be better due to being a pureclass mage.

Imoen is a dual mage/theif so she will never have quite as many spells as Edwin.

Items like the Amult of Power and Ring of Aculty can help her but edwin will always be the better mage.

Cheers

T-D-C: I like your sig.

As far as I know, Edwin gets more spell lots because of his amulet (though I can't remember whether it's one or two extra per level) and because he is a conjurer - a specialist mage (one extra slot per level, IIRC, but can't memorize spells from the opposing school as a trade-off). It's true that Imoen is dual-classed but that doesn't have any impact on how many spell slots she gets, except that she is two levels behind Edwin in your game. Irrespective of level, Edwin will always get more spell slots than any other NPC mage in the game.

Yes as soon as he is lvl 18, when he can first start using level nine spells, he has 4 slots right off the bat!

Yeah Edwin is pretty much your man man for Magic. if you want another versatile mage go with Aerie, her Cleric/Mage combo really kicks buttt when she gets to higher levels.

BTW if you like my Sig ask the A.R.T.S people to make you one in the GD forum. Stormymystic made mine. I think it turned out well.

Thanks, T-D-C - it did - looks good.

As for Edwin, the first time I saw how many level 9 spell slots he got (at once!), I thought it was a bug. I don't think any of my other mages have ever had 4 level 9 slots even at the end of ToB.
