Has anyone tried > this? Ah-ha! Funny you should ask! Circle 3.0's new integrated spell/skill system makes it _easy_ to give spells or skills to any class. This, of course, it key for creating hybrid classes such as paladins who have both spells and skills. Okay, another sneak peak at Circle 3.0. A spell sample record: /* L E V E L S MANA COST */ /* Ma Cl Th Wa Max Min Chng */ spello(SPELL_BLINDNESS, 3, 6, X, X 50, 20, 5, This shows that the blindness spell is usable at level 3 for mages and level 6 for clerics, and not usable by thieves and warriors. When a caster first gets the spell, it will cost 50 mana; then, for each level the mage/cleric gains, the spell will cost 5 less mana until it bottoms out at 20. There are other arguments to spello() that I'm leaving out of this sample, such as whether or not the spell is violent, how many seconds of delay are caused by casting the spell, valid targets, etc. Jeremy
