It might sounds silly but I wonder how to recognize those spell books people are talking about.

I know it's even possible to get them at the beggining so I would like to know what to look for. Are they named like "spell book of something" ?
I've found few suspicios books in 1st village but they're were just called "book". I also found some manuscripts with drawnings. One book and two manuscripts had black and white drawnings and two books I've found had color pictures instead of text. I'll secured them in chest if they occured to be somewhat valuable.

And another thing is how to use magic books ? I've read there are some heavy problems with using charms so I'm asking just in case.


That's all folks !

Spell books look a bit different than standard books, and have a symbol on the front corresponding to the spell. The description can list the spell (Meteor Strike), but may be something different (Fear teaches Withering Curse). Sparks can teach either Lightning of Elemental Hail (or was it Elemental Strike?).

Once you find one, you just have to left click on it in your inventory to learn the skill. A description will scroll up the screen listing the learned skill.

speaking of spell books I just started my 3rd character and for the first time I got 2 spellbooks in aleroth (catacombs) and they were both Heaven's blessing. Now I recall that the skill was from the path of the divine but i learned magical might....damn... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Personally, I'm happy for the free skill, whatever it is. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
