Is there in the works of more spells that maybe forgotten form the time of atlantis to present?I am woundering I have the book of skelos and waiting on Stygia to be delivered to me.I have alot instore for my group and I have till Dec. 2 to have this part of the adventure to be complete.I have a a Scholar in the lower part of this Citadel with some of his cohorts and plan on him being a very intresting person for the party to deal with.I am planing on him to be able to escape this first encounter if things go as planed.(Hopefully)
Question about spells?

With regards to NPC's spellcasters/magic you as the GM should feel free to give them unique spells/powers. It helps perserve the mystery of magic when they do something the PC's arent' expecting/though was impossible. Use the existing spells in the core book and Skelos as guidelines for how expensive/powerful the NPC's magic should be and roll with it.
As for having your spellcaster escape... the best advice I can offer is to make sure he has sufficent meat-shields and to have him abandon the fight and leave early. He doesn't need to flee in terror, he can make it look like disdain for the PC's or that he has a pressing need elsewhere but if you let him stick around long enough to become engaged in combat with the PC's then it will be very hard for you to pull him out without giving him some cheesy escape-tick.
As a rule PC's love to gank sorcorers early and often. If they know or even suspect what he is they will prioritize him as a target and work hard to cut off his escape routes.
Hope that helps.

This may seem like a totally novice or obvious question, but since we're on magic:
I just started really reading through it to finally add the magical baddie arch-villain to my campaign, and the metion of Advanced Spells isn't really followed through with, so the only thing I can assume is that every spell beyond the first in any school is "advanced".
Have I got that right?

:twisted: Merry Christmas from the Jolly Lord. I am the trickster imp Grief. May your games be cursed with ADD players and bad BO. May your GM's dice roll 20's and your character's roll 1's. :evil:
Just messin Happy Thanksgiving !!
Yes. The Scholar gets a bonus spell at level 3 and every fourth level thereafter if he has a high enough Int bonus (see the table on page 59). These bonus spells are chosen from the advanced spells of any of the sorcery styles he already knows.Aelric said:
In fact, you are not allowed to choose a basic spell as a bonus spell as that would mean you were learning a new sorcery style (which you can only do when you get the New Sorcery Style class feature on levels 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16 and 20).
