Spray Acid level 3?

[Cyrlous]

Where do I get this? I can't seem to find it in any guides I've read.

Which game?

There's no spray acid in Avernum 1 or 2. So I'm going to assume Cyrlous is asking about Avernum 3. The bad news is, the only place I know of to obtain Spray Acid L3 is the Tower of Zkal.

Ahh good old Tower of Zkal, aka the challenge dungeon that made me put a hole in the wall, with my head.

Summon Aid 3 is there also at some Avernum.

[Cyrlous]

Ah, my apologies, I left out the most important part of the post, namely which game I was referring to. I am actually talking about Avernum 4.

Third level spells aren't important in 4-6 like they are in 1-3. Don't worry about it.

Spray acid spellbook doesn't exist is Avernum 4.

[Cyrlous]

Wait, there's no level 3 Spray Acid in 4? That's interesting, I wonder why not. Also, why do you say they aren't important? Aren't the higher level spells more powerful?

Between Avernum 3 and 4, Jeff changed the way spells worked. In the first trilogy, increasing a spell level gave different and usually more powerful effects. Starting with Avernum 4, increasing a spell's level only increased damage or duration and no longer added extra effects to a spell. So a spell level was equivalent to increasing mage or priest spell levels, or adding to spellcraft and magery. All of those would increase all your spells instead of just one spell.

And to be extra clear, the increases to damage or duration are TINY compared with a spell level boost from the earlier games. You spell "level" is just added to your spellcraft and your mage/priest skill to determine your bonus for that spell. That's it! So typically it will increase duration by a turn, or increase damage by one die.
