How can i get new spells to my mage? The pages in his spellbook is empty even now when he is lvl 5! Plz help me!!!

When you get a scroll with a mage spell RIGHT click on it. This will give you an option of writing it to your spellbook. Sometimes its good to drink a potion of genius (so you dont "fail to copy the spell") first and then put several spells in one after the other. Hope that helps

Welcome Twilighter!

There is a Mage in Kuldahar that will sell you spell scrolls to learn from, and you will find quite a lot in the various dungeons you visit, so your Mage should never be short of good spells. Have a look in your Manual, pages 58-84 for a list of Mage spells available. Also, remember that the number of spells your Mage can Memorise (ie - have available for immediate use) depends directly on his intelligence combined with his level. Ideally, he should have an Intelligence of 18.

Are you SURE that's how it works? that is how it works for a Cleric with an 18 wisdom (bonus spells). But i don't think wizards get bonus spells unless they choose to specialize. Intelligence is all about memorizing spells. You need a certain intelligence to even be able to memorize certain spells. It should determine max spell level, but i had a problem with my Bard not being able to memorize fireball (he had up to 5th level spells already, but only a 16 int). I drank a potion of genius and it was able to "write magic" and successfully memorized. But once you get the spells in your book, intelligence doesn't do anything for you.
