-The acquisition table outlines the correct number of spells a mage should have, of each level of spell, at a given level of experience.  For example, a 1st level character is expected to possess three 1st level spells.  Meanwhile, a 5th-level mage should have a distribution that includes five 1st level spells, two 2nd level spells and one 3rd level, for a total of 8 spells.

-'''Magical Spell Acquisition''' explains how the [[Mage (class)|mage]] [[Character Class|character class]] acquires their collection of incantations and dweomers, which come in two forms: '''[[Cantrip|cantrips]]''' and '''[[Spellcasting|spells]]'''.  At the 1st level of experience, many of the former are gained, but only three of the latter — however, as a character obtains [[Experience Level|experience levels]], the spell list that grows steadily contains a far more powerful magic.

 __TOC__
 This page is concerned with the first-time acquisition of mage spells rather than the means by which mages re-acquire cantrips and spells after use.  Discussing that process for a moment, a mage records their steadily acquired spells and cantrips in a [[Spellbook|spellbook]].  This is used to mentally construct each spell in the caster's mind, in preparation of it's [[Spellcasting|casting]].  This process of interpreting symbols and fixing them once again in the mage's mind is conveniently called "memorizing," though this is not an accurate description of what's really going on.  It's worth noting that the preservation and upkeep of spellbooks is of utmost importance for the mage, as losing one would be most unfortunate.
