Additional Spell Memorizatioin Items. Stackable?

Mage3

Can items that add the ability to memorize additional spells be stacked? For example, could I wear an amulet that grants additional memorization of 1st, 2nd and 3rd spell slots and also gain additional 1st, 2nd and 3rd level spell slots from another item like a ring? On top of that could I use a third item like a sword that also grants more spell slots?

I know this will not work with armor class items. You can't wear two ring of protections for example and get twice the bonus. I just wanted to be sure before I commit pips toward Katana for Zerth Blade.

Yes, that does work. there are only a very few items of this nature, but yes. they do stack.

But when equipping two Rings of Wizardry the bonus doesn't stack.

One thing to remember is that the extra spells are lost if your character loses control (confusion/fear/etc).
So make sure you put your first-cast/long-duration spells (Stoneskins or similar) in the last spell slot.

And always check before resting.

@abacus - this is in reference to the sword, right? I don't think that happens with the rings, although I could be wrong on that count.

Also, @Awong124 - are you sure? I want to say at one point that my wizard had the low level stackable ring AND the High level one and they both worked just fine. although to be perfectly honest I can't say for absolutely sure as it has been a while.

@‌the_spyder
Yeah, sorry. I was specifically talking about the Zerth Blade.

the_spyder

Yeah, that is why I don't overly sweat the sword. It isn't that big a lift and can be problematic. Plus, there are better swords out there. And I generally play full wizard, so it isn't generally my thing either way. So I am going to just shut up now...

@the_spyder I just tried it. The game actually simply doesn't allow you to equip two of them.

Ring of Acuity is the low level spell one (available in BG2). Ring of Wizardry doubles 1st level spells in BG1, and grants high level spells in BG2. In both BG 1&2:EE it is possible to obtain 2 Rings of Wizardry, but you can't equip both at once. You can however equip the Ring of Acuity and Ring of Wizardry at the same time.

I liked using the Zerth on some Bards... need spells more than mages! That extra 4th is nice.
