I was almost certain that the spell level navigation looked better at the bottom but now the more I compare them, it has to be the one at the top for me.
Also really like the change from the square to circle known/mem spells. Very nice!
And on a final note - I also liked the text that Illustair was referring to.
@LukevanV - Interesting idea - I could probably pull that off with a few tricky adjustments. I will play around with it and see how it looks. Thanks for the feedback.
@SpaceInvader - Your char can memorize more than 12 spells per level? And yes its hard coded and I cannot do anything about it as @ShadowSmuggler mentioned.
@Etamin - Thank you for the kind words. Very much appreciated. This release is taking a lot longer but I've stepped up the quality standards to reflect the extra time. I can't wait to release BETA 6!
Very good work Archaic! I'm really looking forward for playing with your Finished Gui.
@Spaceinvader: I don't know how it is within Ad&d 2.0... but in D&D 3 it is that if you have Int 18 or higher you get Extra Spells per Level. So you can have 7 or 8 memorized at Spelllevel 1. In addition with the ring which doubles the spells for level 1 you get over the hardcoded 12...
I should have some in-game screenshots of the mage book later tonight. Then I will be able to move on to the Priest Scroll design concept. We're over half way to BETA 6 release! I should have some extra free time over the next few days so I'm hoping to get a lot done. Hang in there...
Don't quote me on this but based on how much I have left to do and the average time it takes me to get things done means I could have BETA 6 complete around the 20th of Feb. If everything goes good that means we're only about 2 weeks away.
Really pity that rest modders don't have your attitude. I can undestand that making mods takes time and asking constantly about progress is rude, but a bit more information than "it will be ready when it's ready" would be appreciated. I was translating mods few times and can tell from experiance that using percantile progress stop questions and show people that work is moving forward.
@Archaic I like the new mage book concept, the Mystra symbol and the text that Illustair suggested you bring back look great, as well as the circular spell slots. I think that I prefer the spell level selection box on the bottom, but who knows, maybe I'll change my mind as Balquo did.
One thing that catches my eye as looking a little odd are the four arrow type shapes (two on each side) around the spell level selection box.
Glad to see that things are going so well, keep up the good work.
@Archaic you are amazing!! It's a work of art!!! an your avatar is soo amazing too!!! what do you think to add someone of your Arcdragon in your work??it's very beautifull
I ran into a few hangups with the mage book design concept. I'm working on fixing them as I type this so hopefully I will have it resolved today and have some in-game screenshots soon.
Looks absolutely superb (as always)! Just out of interest, what made you decide to have the image/text above the memorized spells? It just seems like it would look more symmetrical/attractive if the two were swapped. I know it's too late to change anything, and it looks great like this, but maybe something to think about for Archaic Beta 7.0?
Thanks for your continued commitment to this mod/making the UI amazing.
Maybe you should remove the circles for known spells? Easier to differentiate then, between memorized/known.
I don't agree with it!!! The circles in the known spell is a great thing, you can add an option for that in the final version of the UI, like "circle on" and "circle off"???
Why would it be too late to change anything @Tome?
I like the texts, but it hey could be slightly adjusted so that they bend the same way as the page does they'd be perfect. I'd also prefer Illustair's example of Mystra's symbol.

@Balquo - added text, whatcha think?
@Illustair - added color to spell borders, whatcha think?
I love the new spellbook design and, as Balquo said, I'd prefer the spell navigation on top.
But I have one question: what if my char can memorize more than 12 spell slots?
EDIT: I just checked and he reaches exactly 12 spell slots for lvl1, so no problem

Although I would suggest to introduce some difference between known and memorised as suggested below
After a ton of issues here it is...

Great work as always.
Maybe not too late, but I get the feeling from Archaic's post that they are done with the Mage Book for now.
