    If it is a bug, just go into Shadowkeeper and add the appropriate spells. It's not cheating if you are fixing a bug. NOt thath cheating is bad mind you, I do it all the time. :D

    I looked for the table Felinoid had posted in another thread, but had no luck. :bad: Here's my lame attempt:

    Edwin's spell slots per level
    (+1 being a Conjurer, +2 for his necklace)
    1 - 7
    2 - 7
    3 - 6
    4 - 5
    5 - 5

    Actually, I was under the impression that it was a bug that worked in your favor. Specifically, I though it only occurred when you picked up Edwin when he was level 9. Despite being level 9, he had the appropriate spell choices of a level 10 specialist. So when you level him to level 10, the game sets his spells to that of a 10th level conjurer. So it's true that you don't get any extra spells, but that's because you had more than you should have had to begin with.

    What he should have at levels 9 and 10:
    lvl9 - 7/6/6/5/4
    lvl10 - 7/7/6/5/5

    Unfortunately, with my laptop ruined at the moment I can't check what Edwin had, but IIRC from the last time this came up, Edwin's level 9 iteration had 8/7/6/5/4, which is an extra 1st and 2nd level spell he shouldn't have. When you level up, it takes his new correct number of spell slots for level 10 from the appropriate file, and you end up with:

    -1 first level that he shouldn't have.
    -1 second level that he shouldn't have.
    +1 second level from the level up.
    +1 fifth level from the level up.

    So you basically end up trading a first level for a fifth level, with the second level slots cancelling each other out. It's not exactly as Aldeth said, but he does have more than he should.

    I seem to recall a long time ago that there was once a bug in Pure SoA that dealt with certain specialist wizards getting the wrong numbers of spells at low level. Then as they leveled up they'd seem to lose spells because the game would correct them to what is right.

    I believe that Edwin is just the last product of this bug that has never been fixed in his lowest level form. Probably over looked or something. which does happen.
