Been on vacation, otherwise I would have replied sooner. I'll try looking at the code again and adding the ; if I need to. Thanks again.

Alright, I realize that I am a complete neophyte when it comes to programming and script, but I believe this is the stat alteration script for that particular spellbook: alter_stat(30000,53,1) And the character is a Natural Mage, wearing suitable armor to cast. Thanks for the help.

The spell doesn't show up in my traits/spells page or when I press 'm' to access my mage spells. I even went back and used an editor to put my Arcane Lore and Mage Spells stats up to 30, just to be absolutely sure. Same results: I read the book and it shows the message telling me that I've increased my skill with Dispel Barrier, but I do not learn the spell. And, sadly, while the aforementioned editor can raise stats quite nicely, it can't teach spells. So, yeah... still not quite sure what to do about that.

I've just now completed the quest for Kelner that allows me access to the Dispel Barrier Spellbook; happy me. However, when I go to read the book, in spite of the fact that it tells me I've increased my skill with the Dispel Barrier spell, I do not learn the spell. If I try to re-read the book, it tells me I don't learn anything new. I've reloaded the game and tried this over and over again several times, all with the same effect. Is there anything that can be done? Or do I get to finish the game without this spell? Being a perfectionist, and thinking of all the goodies I'll miss out on without it, I'd rather not.
