So for example a fire bolt spell, it is based on a book fire bolt and when it wears out you loose the spell. Is this still the case with this version of ADOM?

Thanks : )

UADOM seems to have pure skill tree progression - I have not find any skill books yet nor you have to learn spells from books to renew your number of casts (which was .... weird system in original I've never really got behind) - you just unlock skill like ex. burning hands and then cast them for mana, that's it. Mind you I did not get very far yet so I don't know if there is book casting later on. There is literacy skill which talks about books but so far I've found only scrolls.

Oh good I felt the same way about the original system, glad the present game version more reasonable.

Please have a peaceful weekend :)
