| - | Spells fall into two main categories: wizardry spells and prayers. Casting [[spells:wizardry|wizardry spells]] requires spell points and the applicable skill for each spell. Casting [[spells:praying|prayers]] requires [[:characters:grace]] from a [[gods|god]] and the [[:skills:praying|praying skill]]. Most spells also belong to a Path; and players may be [[:characters:attunement|attuned, repelled, or denied]] a particular path by their [[:races|race]], [[:classes|class]], or [[:gods|god]]. | + | ==== Spell paths ==== |

| + | ==== Learning Spells ==== | ||
| + | To learn spells, players must posses both the applicable skill - being at least same skill level as the spell, \\ | ||
| + | and the [[skills:literacy|literacy skill]] . \\ | ||
| + | A characters skill level in literacy must be no less than 10 levels lower than the desired spell \\ | ||
| + | (e.g. a level 20 spell requires at least level 10 literacy to learn). \\ | ||
| + | Blessed spellbooks can be learnt 5 levels earlier than regular books. \\ | ||
| + | Cursed books remove spell points or grace and unlucky players can actually forget a spell. | ||
| + | Characters aren't guaranteed success in learning a spell, rather a character's chance to learn a spell is: | ||
| + | |||
| + | % chance to learn = (base chance + (2 * level))/1.5 | ||
| + | |||
| + | Base chance is based on your [[:characters:int|Intelligence]] (INT) for [[:skills:wizardry]] and [[:characters:wis|Wisdom]] (WIS) for [[:skills:praying]] . \\ | ||
| + | Each stat point has the following impact on the base learn chance: | ||
| + | ^ # Stat Points ^ % Base Learn Chance ^ | ||

| + | ==Exceptions== | ||
| + | - While being blinded, learning a spell will always fail, except for a [[:dm_commands|DM]] . \\ | ||
| + | - While being confused, learning a spell will always fail, even for a DM. \\ | ||
| + | - Spellbooks received by [[:guides:Character Creation]] as starting equipment \\ | ||
| + | will not fail to be learnt but will not give [[:characters:exp]] points. | ||
