    There are four spellbooks you can buy in town, and 5 books you can find in the dungeon (or, rarely, in the Black Market). Each has a list of spells in it. Each spell has a minimum character level required before you can learn it. Additionally, the number of spells you can learn increases each level depending on your INT (Rangers, IIRC, won't be able to learn any spells until character level 3 regardless). If you see the text "Study" in your status bar, then that means that there's a spell in one of the books that you can learn. It might be a town book, it might be a dungeon book. Once you have the book, hit 'G' to gain spells, and you'll be prompted which spell you want to learn. To cast the spell, hit 'm', and you'll be prompted for which book to cast from, then can select the spell.

      Thanks.
      Another, new question : what exactly is the order of level feelings in 3.1.2?

        From cmd4.c:
        Code:
        static const char *feeling_text[] =
        {
            "Looks like any other level.",
            "You feel there is something special here...",
            "You have a superb feeling about this level.",
            "You have an excellent feeling...",
            "You have a very good feeling...",
            "You have a good feeling...",
            "You feel a little lucky.",
            "You are unsure about this place.",
            "This place seems reasonably safe.",
            "This seems a quiet, peaceful place.",
            "This place looks uninteresting.",
        };
        The first two are special: "looks like any other level" means that you didn't spend enough time on the previous level to get a new level feeling, and "You feel there is something special here" only shows up if you have preserve mode off, and means that there's a jelly pit on the level. Or sometimes that there's an artifact.

          Thanks again
          Just got the Funniest message ever :
          Code:
          The novice paladin hits you. You die.
          You have been given a graze.
          I'm actually going to do another Trollish warrior

            Technical details of using magic is covered. Rangers play like warriors with infinitely better bow skills. Spells are used in a utilitarian fashion. Instead of having to keep rods, staffs, wands, non urgent consumeables, etc, you can use your spells. Detect visible monsters and traps, cure light wounds, satisfy hunger, stone to mud, teleport other, haste, buffs, rune and destruction. At highest levels you can create branded ammo. Also has the best spell in existance like other mage types. Standard advice is to enchant your longbow to +9 as soon as possible.

              A question : is there an autoscummer, and if yes, where?
              Am going to start rangers again when this one dies

              This is Ridiculous. Smeagol dropped Thengel. On lvl 4....

                No autoscum any more. 3.1.2 has a lot less consumables and drops than 3.0.9 so save every single healing potion you find unless you need it for emergency (nightlies are better balanced at that). OTOH CCW potions heal percentile amount of wounds (wounds, not max hp), so the more hurt you are the more they heal, so those are actually very useful in 3.1.2.

                You were really lucky with Smeagol. I rarely get anything and when I do it is usually just money it stole from me. Getting artifact is like finding BoS. I don't recall getting artifact from Smeagol in 3.1.x -series at all. That's no bug just very good luck.

                  OTOH, the next level gave a "special" feeling.... and i naturally met a trap door.
                  Luck continues. Bullroarer dropped phial...

                      Not in the temple. I think enchant armor scrolls have a chance to break a heavy curse, although I've never tried it.

                        It depends upon the version. In the recent nightlies, 25% chance for each enchant scroll you read on it. However, it is possible they don't work in 3.1.2.v2, or that they only have a chance on a successful enchant. Things have changed a few times.

                                To hit and to dam malus IIRC. Wormtongue was after all a rank coward.
