Some Basic Questions -help!

O.K. I just started playing the game and I'm about 8th level now -however, I've never figured out how to cast a spell -or even to get spellcasting ability. The other thing I cannot figure out is how to use the "schematics" to build stuff like pure ore. If anyone could give me some instructions on this I would be eternally grateful. :smile:

 

Welcome to the forums!
Ok, to cast spells first: Make sure you HAVE a spell to cast.
a) are you a premade character
b) did you create your own
If A, click the blue circle thin in the bottom right hand corner (by your fatigue). This will let you view all your spells. Schools of spells are small round buttons at the top, and the spells themselves will be large squares.
If B, then do the same as A to check out if you have any spells. If you DON'T, then when you level, spend you character point on a spell. To do this, go to your character screen, and then click on the blue circle thing button again, choose a school of magic, and click on a spell to use. Hope this helps. As for schematics: don't REALLY know, but what I think is that you aquire the two items, and then go the orange button beside the magic one and press the big green button. Something like that (after you've learned the schematic, of course).

 

Hmmm...

So you don't need scrolls? Or do you need scrolls for some types of spells? Are there restrictions on spellcasting when wearing armour?

 

Welcome to the forum AsenathWaite! Spells contained in scrolls can only be casted once. Spells that you own can be casted many times. If the spell of a scroll needs to be mantained, it only can be mantained for 1 min. After that, the spell wears off. When you cast a spell which needs to be mantained though, you can mantain it as long as you have fatigue. There is 1 spell available only on scrolls: Scroll of Exiting.

and about the armor thing...
it doesnt affect your casting-spell skill...
(but there is a machined platemail which is tech.)

 

what is that spell for?
