Both are pretty limited in what they can do

How do I add more spells? more skills?
Need more money but where how to get this?


I do not have that great problem with gold.
My two main characters are both some kind of mage, each with 1 ability point in 2 schools of magic, so both characters have 3 skills at the start :
First mage : Fire (Flare) & Water (Minor Heal, Slow Current)
Second mage : Earth (Midnight Oil) & Air (Teleportation, Headvice)

To START with it's very efficient ! Especially Midnight Oil + Flare are so nice to combine !! And with that you've maked your own great campfire laugh to roast/burn the enemies ! Take up the most dangerous enemy and drop him with Teleportation into your camfire doing crushing & fire damage at the same time ! :hihi:
Many kind of enemies are very vunerable to fire damage !

I always now give (as fast as possible and with the help of gear) 1 character Loremaster 5, the other Crafting 5 ! Knowing the weaknesses of enemies helps a lot . Via Crafting it's possible to make your own Skillbooks ! I collect all kind of Scrolls, even buy some interesting Scrolls I wish to make a Skillbook with it (later on) ...
With a little bit luck on your side it's possible to have Loremaster 5 & Crafting 5 for your main character at level 5 (or earlier!)
IF you change the Ability points when starting a "New Game" & start for both abilities with 2 points (you need 3 ability points to do this!) ! wink

Good Luck ! smile
