[Ru]

Archived from groups: rec.games.roguelike.misc (More info?)

in the spell description of selective amnesia: "Casters will be able to
memorise this spell should even their minds be otherwise full of magic
(i.e., already possessing the maximum number of spells)."

how, exactly? i want to forget forescry (because it seems rubbish), and
i've got the book of practical magic, but when i "M" i get told i can't
memorise any spells right now..

This is a FAQ. The description text is misleading. You need to have 3
spell levels available to memorise Selective Amnesia, as with any other
spell. However, there is a hard-coded limit to the total number of
spells you can memorise (25-ish , I think): you can memorise Selective
Amnesia even if you already have 25 spells memorised.
