Dispel barrier is kind of frustrating because there is no recourse if you aren't able to cast it at a high enough level. Your can get "piercing crystals" that will open barriers level 1 and 2. If those don't work, you are looking at a level 3 barrier. You won't gain that skill at level 3 until fairly late in the game.
If I understand your first question properly, the basic answer is that if you have a character with priest only skills, that person won't be able to understand mage spells. Also, a character must have enough Spellcraft to understand the book on the pedestal. Hope this helps....
Hey thanks alot for your reply/help. Where exactly do I get the level 3 barrier spell? I know for a fact that I have dispel barrier at lvl 2, but definitely not lvl 3.
Also, about the pedestals, yes I have 1 priest only and 1 mage only skilled character. Who has to 'read' the pedestal or does that not matter at all? And if so, how do I know if their spellcraft is high enough to read it?
