====== Description ======

Allows the character to read (although even without literacy, character can read skill scrolls, else it would be impossible to gain the skill).  Character can identify scrolls, spellbooks, and other literature.  As the character gains levels of literacy (by identifying and reading) the character can read more advanced literature.  

====== Use Skill ======

Identifies books and scrolls around the character.

====== Ready Skill ======

Same effect as [[#use skill]] on firing.

====== Apply ======

Learns a spell or reads [[:lore]] in a characters memory.


===== Learning Spells =====
A characters 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 base chance:
