One example of a spell that was over used was Flame Bolt V which degraded the spell badly, to the point nobody on the server could use it effectively. To counter this while they worked on a complete fix Turbine added the [[Virindi Spells Quest]] which includes [[Dark Flame]], a spell that was meant to temporarily replace Flame Bolt V as it was not affected by Spell Economy.

	~~Learning spells is mostly achieved through the use~~ of ~~[[Scrolls]], however, some unique spells are also taught by [[NPCs]]~~.		Virtually all players train at least once school of magic and it isn't uncommon for non-mages to have two or even three schools trained.

	There are currently 8 levels of spell. ~~The first six~~ can be ~~found as~~ [[~~Loot~~]] or purchased from the [[Scrivener]]s while the ~~seventh~~ level ~~is only generated by the loot system or trophy system~~ as ~~is the case with unique~~ spells ~~like~~ wall ~~and rings~~. The final and most powerful level 8 (VIII) spell scrolls ~~are~~ created through [[Spell Research]] using special components found in the highest tier of loot.		There are currently 8 levels of spell. Most levels 1-7 spells can be learned from the [[Professors of Magic]] in [[Arwic]].
			The first six levels can also be purchased from the [[Scrivener]]s, while the first seven level spells can be found as [[Loot]].
			Level 6 Wall, ring, blast, and volley spells can be found in [[Steel Chest]]s that require a [[Sturdy Iron Key]] to open.
			A random wall or ring scroll can be acquired learned by giving [[Feruza ibn Salaq]] a [[Pyreal Bar]].
			The final and most powerful level 8 (VIII) spell scrolls can be created through [[Spell Research]] using special components found in the highest tier of loot.
			Level 8 spells can also be learned by turning in the certificates purchased from [[Marid]] in Arwic to a [[Agent of the Arcanum]] as can wall and ring spells.
			There are also [http://acpedia.org/wiki/Spells#Special_Spells special spells] and [[Recall Spell]]s that are learned or can be used by completing quests.
