This is the Spells tab
where the user can add spells to the PC is the PC is able to cast spells.
The upper table is where
you can select which Class, and Level you wish to be displayed in
the spells tables below.
All spell casters start with a Known Spells spell book
- in this book are all the spells the caster knows. Wizards can put an
unlimited number of spells in their Known Spells book, whereas Sorcerers and
the like can only add a finite amount.
Spell casters, which can memorize spells, can type in a name in the Book
Named field to select a name for the spell book.
By clicking the Add
button that book name is added to the list in the Book selection above
it.
By clicking on the Del
button that book named in the Book selection is deleted.
If the Known Spells
book is selected, the Class Info (bottom right pane) table lists all the
available spells to be known for that class of that level. Any spells which the
character knows of that level will then be displayed in the Spell Info
(bottom left) table - each spell can only be known once so putting them in
multiple times will not work. Some classes (mostly Divine) know all spells
automatically so the Selected table will match the Available
table. Only spell casters that memorize spells can choose a book other than Known
Spells, and if a different book is selected the Available table
lists all known spells and the Selected table lists all memorized spells
for this book. In this case it is possible to memorize spells more than once.
Typical uses of this are for creating a book named
"Underground" to hold which spells used when in a dungeon-crawl, or a
book named "In Town" to indicate which spells used when in a town
adventure.
