What's the limit on the number of spells per level you
can have written in your spellbook?
I've a straight mage (finally got one) and there are spells
she can't seem to write to her book. One is a 1st level
spell and another is a 4th (or 5th). As she is a straight
mage, she shouldn't be not allowed to write any types
of spells to her book, so I'm kind of curious what the
deal is. I've 14 1st level spells written and less than 10
of 2nd, 3rd and 4th level spells written.
Can you only write a certain number per day?

thnx,
Sorrow

There could be two reasons... your intelligence could be too low (eg. 17 INT
would only allow you to write a maximum of 14 spells into your book at each
spell level)

or your trying to write priest scrolls into your spellbook (there are several
priest scrolls in the game which mages can't use)

check your manual for a spell listing and max spells for intelligence...

It's probably an INT issue. It prevents you from writing a certain number
per level. From what I've seen in the game, however, 14 spells per level is
MORE than enough. Specifically because not all spells were implemented.

If you REALLY have to scribe another spell, I'd recommend temporarily
raising your INT with a potion, and then trying to scribe it.

If you look in the manuel this is already explained...

Mages have maximum spells / level (spell levels). A mage with 18
intelligence has a 16 barrier. If the intelligence is less, the less spells
/ level you are able to write. If it is the character you created go get
the tome that raises intelligence a single point. With a intelligence of 19
there is no limit on spells / level.

what? i've seen nary a one...each and every magical scroll i've run across
was either cursed, a protection scroll or a mage scroll. where have you found
priest scrolls?

Priests can't scribe scrolls only use them. All the protection scrolls
you mentioned ARE priest scrolls. Priests automatically get all their
spells from their God.

in TOSC. One-off spells for priests not reaching the required level I
guess.

you can write as many as you want and are able for that matter....check your
characters intelligence and wisdom levels....also in that same feild look to
see what your percentage of success to write spells are.....spell writing is
random and a spell you you cant write at first probably can be written if you
tried again....
