Baldur's Gate : The Sword Coast Chronicles : NWN2 Persistent World

For you mages out there, I could use some help with getting my wizard to successfully scribe new spells.

It's been awhile since I played a wizard, so it might just be me being rusty. But I remember it used to be quite easy to use the Scribe Scroll feat. You would just click the feat from a hotbar button, then click the spell you want to learn.

But with regard to learning new spells, BG seems to have replaced the Scribe Scroll with the Study Spell feat. I got it to work once by clicking the Study Spell hotbar button, then clicking the spell. But now it's not working at all.

When I click the Study Spell feat from a hotbar button, I can see it turn a goldish color, as though it is activated. I then click on a scroll that I also have placed in a hotbar button. But then, when I go to click on ground (with Summon Creature, for example), the cursor remains grayed out. It won't activate the spell. I've also tried clicking on my character, as that is sometimes how to activate a spell, but that doesn't work either.

Can anyone help shed some light on what I'm doing wrong?

Heya, try using the hotbar for study spell but click the scroll in your inventory. I don't think you can click the scroll in your hotbar as you want to.

K'yon, you rock!!! Thank you, that was driving me nuts!

You are correct. To use Study Spell, you put the feat in a hotbar slot.

Then you activate Study Spell and the button will turn a goldish color.

Then click on a scroll in your inventory panel, not in hotbar which will not work.

Then you need to double-click the scroll in your inventory to attempt to learn it. This won't actually cast the spell, it's just an attempt to learn it.

Finally, a message will appear in your log that indicates whether you were successful or not.

And it's as simple as that. Thanks again, K'yon! Much appreciated.

Sure, good thing you figured the rest out. If you've done it a few times you kinda forget that part also needs to be done XD.

Always glad to help if you have any other questions feel free to pm me.

Do I need to add my Beginners Guide to Wizardry to my forum sig again, Sir_Blacksoutalot?

Tsidenku, I shall ever remain but a lowly wizard apprentice under your masterly tutelage.

Post away!
