In my Blade of Destiny manual the spells descriptions are missing. Is only a download problem or the GOG version is lacking them?
By the way, i found the descriptions in the Amiga manual I downloaded here:

Thanks commodo.....i had this same issue, your link was exactly what I was looking for.

YES! Thanks! I spent all afternoon trying to build a party, then got to the spell casters and realized i didnt have a clue what spells to pick...the manual provided is terrible, all kinds of errors in it...misspellings, etc etc...
Also, noticed that there are even fewer spell descriptions in the manual of RA2!!! Does it use the same spells as RA1?
The game itself looks pretty good if this kind of thing could be overcome...

Thanks a lot for the link... Had the same problem that I had absolutely no idea what spells to choose.
By the way - I think this is a problem with the pdf-file. When you select "Arcane Lore" in the pdf-bookmark, it jumps to some text but without a section heading. Every other link in the bookmark jumps to the corresponding heading.
