Hey, Randomizer - I notice the spellbook for 'Unshackle Mind' is missing from this list.

 

According to the 'SYNERGIZER LIST', the 'Unshackle Mind' speelbook (AL 7) is part of the Seleeass’s Scrolls/Rescue Treviass quests - in fact, it's in the same room as Seleeass’s Scrolls (I actually remember this!...).

 

Anyway, FYI, for completeness.

[Randomizer]

Thanks for catching it. I missed transferring the information from my regular notes to this list.

Does the level 15 have to some from one character or is it the sum of the party? ie. do 3 characters with an arcane lore of 5 let you read the level 15 book?

Same question for luck, nature lore, first aid, and tool use.

[Lilith]

It's the total level of it in your party for all of those cases except Tool Use. Tool Use keys off whichever individual character has the highest skill.

[Juan Carlo]

Maybe this has been answered, but I don't see it in the faqs.

 

How does spell training work?

 

1. If you read from a spell book can you still buy three levels of the spell after that? Or do you have to buy three, then read from the spell book?

 

2. I know people have said that in Avernum 4/5 it wasn't always worth it to buy levels of spells because of the way that spellcraft and mage/priest skills worked. Is it worth it in Avernum 6 to buy all three levels of a spell?

 

Thanks.

1.In A4/5/6 reading a spell book does not affect the number of levels you can buy from a trainer, so yes.

2.A6 spell system is pretty much the same as A4 and A5 so the "worth" is same in all three.

This is wrong, A4 has the problem stated by Juan Carlo, A5 and A6 don't (although in A5 my fighter who got trained by end game in priest spells suddenly had 6 or 7 in minor heal which was more than my priest)
