Each spell belongs to one of the nine schools of magic-- Earth, Air, Fire, Water, Body, Mind, Spirit, Light, or Dark. Each school has a skill which a character must possess before they can learn and cast that school's spells. The more powerful spells will require a character to possess a magic school's skill at Expert, Master, or even Grand Master level. Characters learn new spells from learning books which may be purchased at various guilds and shops, or found as treasure. To use a learning book, pick it up out of a character's inventory and then click on the character's full figure image or portrait. The spell will now be permanently recorded in the character's spell book. Each learning book can only be used once.
