I take it I can and should change my "Scheme" sometime thru the game then?
Certainly. Though for longterm strategy, you'll want to start working on some attributes and magic colleges relatively early. Willpower, for instance, is required to learn more advanced spells in any college, so it's a good idea to start boosting it in order to have those high spells available when you want 'em.

Only to do something I normally don't have the skill for (pick pockets) or to pick a rather difficult lock... Use it as you wish <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Beware of the random encounters <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />.

I suppose it's Mage's Dagger? Some magical items have their own mana. It gets uses before your own (fatigue, actually) and regenerates. That way you can cast more powerful spells without fainting. Also you see a percentage in your weapon info: that's the percents of the weapon's full power which can be used with your magical aptitude. See why fable and I reccomended to stick to one side? The higher your magical apptitude is, the better protection you have against weaker powers, the more powerful your spells are and the stronger your equippement is <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />.

Ah, but that depends on your magical aptitude, Lucretia: you get the maximum spellpoints if you have a high aptitude. What is yours? (Check in the Character Screen).

Blood is something which flows in your body and hell is a word which figures in 90% of all RPGs. What's wrong? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> Yes, it's the gauge. Level 8 with 70%? Strange: it took me much longer to get to 100 Tech aptitude... How many level 1 spells do you have?

I think that 100% on the sword means the success of the spells that sword casts depends upon 100% of your magical aptitude: the higher the percentage, the better. And yes, there are many items in the game that can really increase your magic potential. Some staves offer the ability to store magic, for example. You can leech the magic out of them for use, and let them recharge, again.

Okay, if Spick's playing Arcanum, then I'm definitely getting it. I have gone back and forth on buying Arcanum for months. But spick's the one who got me hooked on PS:T and that was by far THE best RPG I've ever played. Btw, I don't expect Arcanum to be up there with PS:T, I am buying it for the 'fun' factor alone and it sounds perfect for the type of characters I enjoy playing: neutral mage/wizard with the flexibility to be evil when I want.
So, I'm off to see the wizard about buying this game. Will post a note after I've played it. And yes, I will definitely patch before playing. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/alien.gif" alt="" />

He has to have the two items in his inventory. Example: If you have a Ginka Root and a Kadura Stem, you can give them to Magnus, ask him if he can do something for you, and you'll see the button turn green.
