Spell Training

Spells in Memory

A mage may have a maximum number of spells in memory with a combined difficulty of their intelligence plus (level-1).

Learning Spells from a Spell Book or Scroll

• Mage must be a minimum of 3rd level to learn from a scroll or book
• If it is a stacked spell, lower levels must be learned first

Learning a spell takes
Three 4-hour days of study with a teacher (can study for up to 8 hours)
Re-learning from a mage's spell book takes 24 hours (no other activity, including travel)

Because learning without a teacher is harder, a mage may only do one 4-hour session per day.

Learning an Unknown Spell from a Book

Intelligence x (Mage Level +1 – Spell Difficulty)

Learning an Unknown Spell from a Scroll

Intelligence x (Mage Level +2 – Spell Difficulty)

Cost to Learn Spells

Mage	2.5 s.p. per level of difficulty or spell points (whichever is greater)
	* 15% discount if a guild member
	* Chance to learn is automatic
Non-Mage	5 s.p. per level of difficulty or spell points (whichever is greater)
	* Chance to learn is Intelligence x 5 + Teacher level starting at 4th – 6

IMPORTANT Non-mages need to be tested to see if they have aptitude. That costs 10 sp and takes one-week. To determine they have spells, drop one tier in the Intelligence table, then roll and see if there is a positive spell point amount. If yes, then they can cast spells and that is the starting spell points.

For example:

• Intelligence 13 would drop to the 9-12 tier, which means, since a person gets .5-1.5 spell points to start, they are guaranteed to have a least .5 spell points.
• However, a person with a 9, would drop to 7-8 tier, which means on a roll of .5 spell points they would have no magic (class effect -.5 +.5 roll = 0). If they rolled a 1, they would get .5 spell points. If they rolled a 1.5, they would get 1 spell point.
