Magic - Learning New Spells
A mage can practice mixing powders together to try to learn a new spell. Basically, he picks a single powder or mixes two or three different powders together and then sees if he can cast it. As he does not know what the spell will do, he uses a target of zero. If the spell works, he will then be able to cast it, plus his skill may increase as he has learnt something new.
It is best to practice learning spells that have just one powder at first, then move on to those with two powders. Knowing the powders that are used in a particular spell does not guarantee success as some spells may be above the skill of the mage. Careful reading will indicate if it was a wasted experiment or if the powder combination may work in the future.
Spell powders always have item numbers of 301 to 309 and a particular spell never uses the same powder twice, however a different order of mixing the powders could be successful, e.g. spell 71 is different to 17.
CAST TEST SPELL
C (character) (powder(s)) (0)
For example: C 2 346 0 tells character 2 to experiment using spell powders 303, 304 and 306.
