About
Read spell books to gain stock in spells. Casting spells costs spell stock and MP; each cast always costs 1 spell stock. Memorization affects spell stock gain per successful read.
Every spell is governed by a stat. Spells rapidly gain experience depending on how high the governing stat is above the spell's level. However, if the spell's level is higher than the governing stat, spell XP is severely reduced based on the difference.
Please check this page for prices of magic books and magic wands.
Domains
Characters will be assigned elemental domains at generation according to class. Some classes such as wizard or priest have the option to gain additional elemental domains as class perks in character generation. However, not all elements are necessarily available for selection even with the perk; for example, wizards cannot obtain the holy domain.
Attack spells of the player's domains will be considerably more likely to spawn as loot or in shop inventories. This weighting only applies to attack spells and not healing or support spells.
Class-related domains cannot be changed once character generation has been completed, but additional domains can be re-selected by joining the Mages' Guild and raising your rank.
Spells of a character's elemental domains will also gain a 1d bonus to damage or healing.

Testing
Testing Notes:
Domains give each spell of that element an additional damage dice.
Each 10 points of main stat for each spell effects the number of dice rolled (Example, Mind Bolt at level 1, never been used, went from 1d7 to 2d7 when going from 9 to 10 charisma)
Each level of the spell increases cast chance by 1% (or thereabouts)
Each other level (level 3, 5, etc) increases dice value (Example, above mind bolt went from 2d7 to 2d8 at spell level 3, with no increase to casting skill or stat)
For non-damage spells, spell level increases cast chance and duration.
Talismans
(All talisman information tested with Sword Sage, and the Talisman Mastery feat.)
By using a Calligraphy Kit, spellbooks can be bound to melee weapons in the form of Talismans.
Sword Sages have the calligraphy tool from the start, and other professions can also craft and obtain it.
How to use the calligraphy tool: Use the calligraphy tool→select a weapon and an attack magic book.
Talismans "cast" the spell as if the player had used it themselves, at the same spell level, domain bonus and same stat bonus that the player would ordinarily have from traditional casting.
Talismans do not consume MP, and have a 100% chance to trigger if the weapon attack hits and the melee hit does not drop the target instantly to critical health.
Talisman damage is rolled after weapon damage.
Casting in this manner does not give the player casting or spell experience, and talisman stock is gained at 1/2 the base rate of reading the book, with no bonuses from memorization.
When magic is activated, the stock is reduced by one and experience is gained for the magic used. However, no experience is gained in the casting skill.
