New spells, Avernum 1

[Tango]

I've been getting a few new spells like Ice Lances on my mage, but even though I've trained them at the mage trainers, the spells fail to appear in his list of mage spells when in combat. Why aren't they showing up there? Anybody know?

[Dantius]

You need to train you mage spell skill high enough to cast them, otherwise they don't show up.

Sounds standard. just went to Duvno, went to the training room, hit train and my mage's skill is 8, but stuff like Ice Lances still doesn't show up. I've GOT to be missing something.

[Tango]

*sigh* nevermind. I don't know where it went, but the skill has NOT been learned by my mage.

I'm awesome... I spent a few thousand gold... teaching that crap to Jay.

 

On another note, I'm getting fairly high in level, but it's not going past level 2 of all of my healing spells. Is it a specific spell vendor that's got those spells? I figured Formello would have them. In particular, level 3 of curing.

Level 3 spells are a secret, usually they're on a spellbook in a dungeon somewhere. You can't train them- you have to find them.

Level three spells can be hidden in dungeons or towns, they can be quest rewards, or they can be acquired a few other ways. In A1 I believe each level 3 spell appears in only one location. The good news is that they're not all reserved for the late game. If you keep your eyes open and bash into enough walls you can start finding them in the very first dungeons.

 

—Alorael, who recommends having enough Arcane Lore. Without it you often can't read the spellbooks that the spells are in.

This is why you have several save games so you can go back and fix mistakes.

I believe Smite L3 is in Fort Avernum itself, actually.
