22. "RE: Various Questions (please help)"
Wow! We have thread in flames here on this board... I must definitely explain why I recommend two Bishops: It is the easiest way to get all spells plus some overlap (if you don't like excess training like me). I've played with pure casters. They develop fast and then... it's over. I felt they were always lacking some spell I wanted to cast. The highest level spells aren't as important as in W7 (you cannot anymore wipe out hordes of monsters with them). If you start with an imported party your Bishops can get a very good start: 16 points in all magic schools and 13 in four realms and 4 x 9 points as they level up. I always develop all realms for both Bishops!

By the way, the most critical spell level is level 5 and Bishops reach that level well before you start encountering monsters against which you will seriously need those spells. (I guess you have to have some knowledge about where not to venture.)

After some more levels (and visits to shops in Arnika) one of my basic Bishops is both well developed Alchemist and Priest PLUS he has the most important Mage and Psionic level 1 and 2 spells since he has 16 points in all magic schools. The other is of course as versatile.

It is easy to start developing a third school of magic (but I don't consider developing all four to be fun anymore). There are many spells which I consider so important that both must have them. There is always something to cast, Identify, Knock Knock and all the Buff spells, which will increase your skill points so you don't need to worry about having to spread skill points in many places.
