I think I've done something wrong.

I didn't think it was a good idea to specialize my Mage at level 1, so I put all 3 skill points into Spellcraft. Now I find I cannot cast any spells. Even worse, I've just noticed that because of this my Mage has gained only 50% of the experience my other characters have gained.

Will this problem go away when he eventually gets level 2? Is there some disclaimer that I missed warning that you MUST put all of your points into one of the 4 elemental skills at start if you want to be a spellcaster that can actually cast spells?

Equip a rock or throwing knife on your Mage and make sure he attacks at least once per monster. This should enable him/her to earn the full amount of experience points. Also, you will earn 4 skill points for each experience level you gain. So, you can still make your character build work but you will have to grind through to experience level 2 and then place some skill points in one of the elemental spheres (I recommend fire

I think the most basic spell ..fireburst takes 2 points in Fire. SO you are correct if you don't put any points in ..You will have no spells to begin the game.

My Mage was pretty mageless for the beginning. Once I leveled up I redeemed that though.
Now he's pretty much my heavy hitter. Fire works wonders to those skeletons. Too bad I haven't really found a monster reacting to poison all that much. Skeletons are imune, spiders and those Hoarders don't seem to fazed either.
