hi my question is about the game (on pc) pool of radiance (ruins of mythdrannor). i em playing the game and i do not have a rule manual. my mage has a intellagence of 21+ and wisdom of 16 or 17.the problem is she(mage) will level up and be offered new spells for her book except after i choose the new spell it is added to my book but hen i get into combat i cant use the new spells. also i will go along and all of a sudden i can use more of my spells. my mage is lvl 12 but i can only cast lvl 3 spells (fireball). my book shows i have learned spell like fogkill and chainlighting, and yet on my 4th, 5th and 6th lvl spells in my book it says availble spells to learn at any of those levels is 0(zero)? very odd huh. is there something you need to do to get your mage to be able to use new spells? at first i couldnt use my 2nd or 3rd lvl spells either but they just started working and if i did something i dont know what lol. if theres a person i need to vist to activate the spells i cant think who i visted that made my 2nd and 3rd lvl spells work. o' well ty for any help later all
It has been a while since I have played that game so I just have a few guesses on what could be wrong.
If I remember, there were only sorcerers and not wizards. I think it was if first 3rd edition video game and they were trying to shove the class on us. If that is the case, and you have a sorcerer, then your spellcasting ability is charisma. You can only cast a spell if you have a charisma of 10 + the spell level. I dont think bonuses from items count.
Otherwise, maybe you need to rest after gaining the spells so you character can "memorize" them
But like I said, I can hardly remember that game. I am just quoting 3rd edition rules here.
Upon rereading you post I think items may count. You claim you can only cast 3rd level spells, and your modified charisma is 13. That may be your problem. Once again, I am assuming you are playing a sorcerer because I remember that being the only option in the game. I could be wrong.
