Av2 does anybody teach mage skill?

[jestrada5]

Hi all. I remember solberg in AV1 taught mage up to level 5. Is there anyone who does that in av2? (don't tell me who, just if it exist.)

 

And is there anyone who does that with the priest skill? My mage and priest are maxed out in their spells and intelligence is getting expensive. I want more spell points but i don't want to waste the skill points if i can train in priest and mage.

There is a place where you can purchase Magery extra skill that improves effectiveness of all mage and priest spells. (You can also raise that skill in a couple additional places.)

 

However, I don't think you can purchase Mage skill itself.

 

EDIT: According to Schrodinger's faq, there are 2 places to purchase Magery skill, one more expensive than another.

Yeah i found both of those. (or three).I guess i just better up my mage and priest skill to get those spell points.

Magery doesn't give you more spell points, and you can't purchase the skills that do. Leveling and are your options.

 

—Alorael, who has never purchased caster skills in the Avernum trilogy. There appears to be a downside to having mage/priests in A1.

Yeah, i know that magery doesn't increase spell points. I was just hoping that there was someone that taught mage spells to lvl 5 like in AV1. I was pleasantly surprised to get my fighters up to lvl 5 magic users for cheap. Oh well. better spend those skill points in now.
