There are many types of spells available to your
characters throughout the course of the game. Each character class specializes
in casting certain types of spells, so examining the spells list is very helpful prior to choosing the members
of your party. Although the sorcerer and
wizard are, by far,the most powerful spell-casters,
all character classes can learn spells at certain spell levels. |

- Advance One Spell Level Every Four Promotions
- Each character class can attain knowledge of spells at up to four
successively more advanced spell levels. All characters start out with
knowledge of spells at spell level one for their particular class. For a
character to learn new spells, he or she must achieve four promotions to reach
the next spell level. For example, a sorcerer promoted to level 14 will be able
to cast all sorcerer spells at spell level 1, 2, and 3.
- Select a Spell Level - The screen above shows
the spell menu for a particular character. The top-right menu lists the four
spell levels. The bottom half of the screen lists all the spells that are
currently available to the spell-caster at that particular level. Although low
level characters will be able to select any of the four spell levels from the
menu, no spells will be listed at spell levels that have not been
learned.
- Combat and Non-Combat Spells - There are two
types of spells in the game: combat spells which can only be cast during
combat, and non-combat spells which may be cast out of combat. Note that many
spells (such the heal player spell) can be cast both in and out of combat. When
selecting CAST SPELL from the character menu, only spells that can be cast in
non-combat situations will be shown. Likewise, when selecting CAST SPELL during
a combat encounter, only spells that can be cast in combat will be shown for
each spell level.
- Spell Point Cost - All spells consume the
caster's spell points. If your character
has enough spell points to cast a certain spell, then it will be listed in
black text. If the character knows and can cast the spell, but currently
doesn't have enough spell points to cast it, the spell name will be printed in
light gray text. When the caster's spell points reaches zero, he or she will no
longer be able to cast spells until they re-charge their spell points in the
sunlight, or at a temple, or by other means.
