Hello Peeps!
I'm new to the forum and new to the game.
I have been fighting and killing everything in sight.
I have joined the Old Camp.
I am Level 14
There are hardly any monsters left for me to slay.
My stats for Magic: No
I tried to Equip Ice Bolt but get the following:
'You're Short Of 1 Magic Spell To Use This Item'
This seems very vague to me. Can somebody explain to me what it is trying to say?
What do I have to do to use Circles of Magic?
I realize that I can use spells, but the 'No' to Magic in my Stats bothers me.
To anyone who can help, I thank you now for your time.
Oh, and one last Question:
I have found 2 possible 3 circles that look like a circle of stone with 4 protruding curved spikes. A skull is in the center of these objects. What the heck are they? If they are 'warp stones' how do I activate them?

Spells can be cast from scrolls or items. If you have enough mana you can cast any spell from
a scroll. Notice you have 5 mana at the start.
Scrolls burn up after 1 use, items never do. To cast a spell from an item you have to have that circle of magic, 1,2,3... etc. Since you have no magic training you can't use items until you get trained in magic. Try talking to some magicians.

They aren't 'warp stones', they are a part of a quest you'll recieve later in the game.

DOH! Sorry sauron38, I guess I forgot that part of my information. To answer your question, I am a Shadow.
ffbj, I will do just that. I will seek out every magician I can.
Ok Val, so they are not 'warp stones' and I can live with that. Thanks for not spoiling anything, but you must have heard that curiosity killed the cat.
And I just wanted to say, now this is a great board. The last Gothic Board I asked questions on after 1 week there was still no reply to anything I asked. But, there were many 'new' posts.
You guys rock!

Ah, a new face  .
...welcome, The_Gothic_One.
Your stats will say Magic: yes only after you joined a mage's guild and have been learning at least the first circle of magic.

I'm back!
Jaz, thank you for the kind words of welcome. And the information on 'why it says no for my magic in the Status Screen.
Andross, thanks for the tip about the golom. I know where there are a Rock Golom and and and an Ice Golom. I tried whacking the rock golom down with my best weapon but after several futile attempts of dying and leaving him untouched, I ran away.
I have never casted a single spell yet.

If you are still only Shadow, then you can use only scrolls.
After some time, you will need to make decission in your path - Guard (fighter) or Firemage (mage).
Choose what is more atractive for you.
If you will choose firemage, you will have access to magics teacher and you will be able to learn first, second and third circle immediately, so if you are planning to do such decission, you probably should start to save exp. points.
I think that 10 + 15 + 20 = 45 (circles) + 20 (max. mana) = 65 will be enough.

First off, hello and welcome!
Second, you may not be able to train in magic yet, but you can increase your mana. If you want to play as a mage, you will need to increase you mana. There are three places you can get this training, In the OC from the fire mages. From the NC from the water mage near the ore pit. Or, from the SC, from one of the gurus.
Also, you can buy runes (magical objects). The people you train you in magic, or help you increase your mana sell them. They’re nice to have, so that when you CAN use them, you have them!
P.S. even though you are going to be a fire mage, you can use ANY runes that you can get your hands on.

Magic is bad for you
Magic is bad for your eyes
Magic is bad for your ears
Magic is bad to kill monsters
Magic is bad to kill Mud, No magic is great to kill mad because Mud dies already from a sleep spel.
