wizard to warlock question

[Olli Kalma]

Don't know was I wrong. Sorry that I hasted with my reply before I really know what happened to my warlock.
Bungleau was right, I was able to train at 7th level stone magic by warlock, but he already knowed that magic type before turning from wizard to warlock...
He's now 10th level warlock and cannot learn yet 7th level stone spells...
6th level spells he can learn, but mayby one or two level that he can learn also 7th level spells.
You can train your magic level at guilds, but no use if you cannot learn those spells! There I was wrong... Sorry!

Heh?!?? How come?
I am using a warlock role as a spell collector regularly for a long time. I am doing all the time the following:
a) Collect all magic schools in Valeia without leaving the town (except for Spirit - the future hero is teleported to the altar and Call of Homed back by another character).
b) Become a barbarian and collect HP and mana.
c) At Ishad H'Ha start changing roles and collect spells: Barbarian -> Ninja -> Paladin -> Ranger -> Samurai -> WARLOCK.
d) The warlock is to learn Stone and Fiend spells and also high level spells of other magic schools. I have encountered no problems with any magic school anywhere. Starting from level 7 (and skill levels 7), all spells were always offered me during leveling up. I could always select any spell I wanted.
Another idea is Barbarian -> WARLOCK -> ninja -> etc. Now, the warlock has to train his magic schools along with collecting spells. The warlock is collecting the most pressing spells. Again, no problems.

At present, I am playing a solo Omphaaz Warlock Mendicant. No items at all - no weapons, no armor, no rings, amulets or bracelets, no shield, ...
a) I can add any spell to my spellbook everytime I am leveling up.
b) ALL magic schools improve automatically during leveling up - as any other "native" skills.

Radek:
Wow!
You drive your self in the corner!
How in the earth ( talking about Gaea's ) you think you survive?
I'd like to hear more of your jorneys... I thought that I start game too with one character, but it's hard to finish the game with whole party!
You must be really good, and knowing things!

Btw. Can I start new game and not distrupting my old?
And Can I copy adventures into somowhere else that I can reset 'em
and start new game? What files do I must copy, or is there easier way?

[Radek]

I don't know, either
I planned to play a "natural" zenmaster first but my soul stopped me during training of my character. "COWARD!", it screamed, "THOU SHALLT PLAY THIS WARLOCK! UNDERSTAND?". Thus, I sold all my equipment and obeyed.
At present, we have finished Skull Castle. We are level 30, 231 HP, about 650 SP in each magic school, AC 0, Hit +18, Parry +9, Speed +20, resistances: lamentable. Two deaths so far - one of them was my own stupidity. A while of truth is before us - Guardians of Isis and Temple Guardians in Anephas Shrine. We shall see.

Olli Kalma...

To save, your current game and start fresh.. ...Create a folder for the files, you will need and name it. (Oldgame)

Then open --> 'Programs' --> 'Activison' --> 'WizardsWarriors' folder.
Copy..--> 'save' and move the copy... to the 'Oldgame' folder.
Then ...copy..--> 'ROSTER.DAT' and do the same.

Now you can, Delete the original 'save' and 'ROSTER.DAT' files from the 'WizardsWarriors' folder and start a 'New' game. (the game will create new/empty files)

After you start/play...your 'New' game....create another folder. (name it...Newgame)
...and repeat the above steps.

Now...You can switch back and forth....
just copy...'save'...from the 'oldgame' folder....and drop it on 'WizardsWarriors'...say 'yes' to 'do you want to replace'.
Do the same thing, with 'ROSTER.DAT'

Thank's Packrat! I'll try it!

WOW! Radek! It took me several minutes to find out how you done it!
But knowing that you get more experience if you wander alone that in stack...
It's still Quite adventure you have done this far...
I'm heading into skull isle too, I found that old treemen and saved game last night it was allready 1.45 o'clock and at school at eight!

When I get back to home I'll solve what to do with that dude. ( haven't spoke to him yet) Isn't that the tree who made Torin's bow?

haha, to simply put it, a warlock can learn ANY spells from previously learned classes. HOWEVER, if the spell class is grayed out after u change into a warlock (meaning that u havent learned anything in that spell class), you cannot learn spells from it, except moon and fiend.......
Also, save early save often.
