Hello everyone, I'm new here but not to the game. My question is this...
I'm currently playing a berserker/mage and I've found that there are two spells I can't write. These are stoneskin and contingency. I've never tried and failed to write these so it's not that but whenever I come across these spells in stores etc. they have the red tint to them. All other spells are OK. Is this a bug or is it something peculiar to dualed fighter/mages.

Cheers

BA

No definately not to either of those questions. I have just found that in the fish city there are two stoneskin scrolls you can buy. One for 550gp which is tinted red and the other for 1320gp which I have written into my spellbook. On the face of it both spells appear identical in effect and duration. Since the first post I have also found that I can write protection for electricity. Weird

Maybe one is the cleric version of stoneskin and the other is the mage version?

Protection from Electricity is a fifth level mage spell as well as being available as a one-use scroll, I think the only difference between the mage spell & the scroll is the duration, the writable spell is 1 turn/level, the non-writable scroll is of fixed duration.

MMMMMM could be a point there. Only thing is clerics dont use scrolls to learn spells. It could be, though I doubt it, That one is a temporary spell as most protection spells cant be learned, and the others written to be a learned spell. Not that this really explains anything but with most protection spells the useage is only temporary not permanent in your spell book.

Is your mage of a particular school like necromancy or divination??? These schools have opposites that your mage cant learn the spells from. So it could be that your mage has chosen a school and the opposite of that school is the one that uses protection spells.

Just a thought.

P.S. WELCOME TO THE BOARD BIG AL!!!!!!

THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!!!!!!!!!!!

No I haven't been int drained or anything else. I just finished the fish city and found a merchant there selling two versions of stoneskin. One for 550gp which I couldn't write and one for 1320gp which I could. Both spells appear to be exaclty the same. I have also found that I can't write protection from electrical energy. Weird or what. I checked out previous game saves from times when I wasn't playing a mage and the two types of stoneskin are always there.

No my mage is dualed from a berserker which made me wonder if it has anything to do with protection spells for a mage that is already pretty beefy in terms of hp.
Appologies for the dual post above when I came back to the thread my earlier one wasn't visible!
