p.85 :
[quote]Spellcasting inability : A karsite cannot cast arcane or divine spells, even if he takes level in a class that grants spellcasting ability. He can use spel-like abilities, psionic powers, and magic itemps normally.[/quote]

p.112 :
[quote]When you are capable of casting only apprentice mysteries, you cast them as though they were arcane spells.[/quote]

[quote]_ Can be cast once per day if functioning as an arcane spell, ...[/quote]

1)Functionning as an arcane spell, it's not an arcane spell, no ?

p.117 :
[quote]Levels in shadowcaster do not qualitfy a character for prestiges classes with the folllowing entry requirements :
...
_ Ability to cast spells of X level where the type (arcane or divine) is specified.[/quote]

2)With this above ? If a shadowcaster don't qualify for this requirement, it's that aren't arcane spells, no ?

Or perhaps with favored mystery feat.

3)Can a karsite become a shadowcaster or not and use the mysteries ?

p.110 :
[quote]Those few who truly understand it, such as shadow magic casters, use the Shadow Weave as a source for their power, drawing on it the way shadow mages of other worlds draw directly from the Plane of Shadow.[/quote]

4)Can the shadowcaster on Toril draw directly from the Plane of Shadow ?

The magic of a shadowcaster is neither arcane, neither divine.

5)So, can Shar prevent the shadowcaster to use their magic ?
And so don't the shadowcaster need the feat for the shadow weave, neither lose in Wisdom to use this shadow magic ?

6)Can a character become a binder learning from a death giant (Monster Manual III) ?

p.117 the requirement for a child night :
[quote][b]Special : Must have visited the Plane of Shadow[/quote]

8)In Chaulssin, Rringlor Noroth (see Underdark book), do the character satisfy the special requirement ?

Thanks for your future answer.

Kaladorm	Posted - 31 May 2006 : 20:44:57 I think I'm as confused as you are. I might be able to answer one of your questions, the feat in PGtF that allows use of the shadow weave has a pre-requisite of patron deity Shar 'or' wisdome 15 (I think!), i.e. either a follower of Shar that knows the secrets or presumably a way of allowing those with heightened senses to 'stumble across it' in some form or another. I would say that this implies that non followers of Shar also cast their shadow spells from the shadow weave. Just my assumptions there though, it all seems far too complicated :)
