General

Virtually all players train at least once school of magic and it isn't uncommon for nonmages to have two or even three schools trained. Spells are learned via Scrolls or as rewards for Quests. Scrolls can be found as loot on most Creatures, can be purchased from Scriveners, and in most chests, particularly Steel Chests.

Casting spells requires a Casting Device and Spell Components. To use the new component system of Prismatic Tapers and scarabs, you must have a Foci for that school. With the release of Gears of Change, you can remove the need for a Foci using the new system with the proper Augmentations

Casting Difficulty

A certain skill level is needed to cast spells successfully, below is the different levels displayed and the required buffed skill needed. This applies to any school of magic, the only exceptions is debuff spells, like Imperil, Vulnerability and various skill debuffs that will have a difficulty 25 points above each increment (casting a level III Flame Bolt requires skill level 150 while Imperil III would require skill level 175 to cast successfully 50% of the time)
