 +==== Learning Spells ====
 +To learn spells, players must posses both the applicable skill - being at least same skill level as the spell, \\ 
 +and the [[skills:​literacy|literacy skill]] . \\ 
 +A characters skill level in literacy must be no less than 10 levels lower than the desired spell \\ 
 +(e.g. a level 20 spell requires at least level 10 literacy to learn). \\
 +Blessed spellbooks can be learnt 5 levels earlier than regular books. \\
 +Cursed books remove spell points or grace and unlucky players can actually forget a spell.
  
 +Characters aren't guaranteed success in learning a spell, rather a character'​s chance to learn a spell is: 
 +
 +  % chance to learn = (base chance + (2 * level))/1.5
 +
 +Base chance is based on your [[:​characters:​int|Intelligence]] (INT) for [[:​skills:​wizardry]] and [[:​characters:​wis|Wisdom]] (WIS) for [[:​skills:​praying]] . \\
 +Each stat point has the following impact on the base learn chance:
 +^ # Stat Points ^ % Base Learn Chance ^
 +| <3 | 0% | 
 +| 3 | 1% | 
 +| 4 | 2% | 
 +| 5 | 4% | 
 +| 6 | 8% | 
 +| 7 | 12% | 
 +| 8 | 16% | 
 +| 9 | 25% | 
 +| 10 | 36% | 
 +| 11 | 45% | 
 +| 12 | 55% | 
 +| 13 | 65% | 
 +| 14 | 70% | 
 +| 15 | 75% | 
 +| 16 | 80% | 
 +| 17 | 85% | 
 +| 18 | 90% | 
 +| 19 | 95% |

 +==Exceptions==
 +- While being blinded, learning a spell will always fail, except for a [[:​dm_commands|DM]] . \\
 +- While being confused, learning a spell will always fail, even for a DM. \\
 +- Spellbooks received by [[:​guides:​Character Creation]] as starting equipment \\
 +will not fail to be learnt but will not give [[:​characters:​exp]] points.
