In BG2 sometimes you have so many spells per level memorized that they exceed the page of the spell book.
Size of the Book need to be increased in order to fit ~20 (currently it is 12) possible memorized spells per level imho.

    Did you install a mod to expand your spellbook? I don't think it's PnP legal to write 20 spells per level no matter how high your INT.

    With two rings of wizardry, you can get 24 level 1 spells memorized. (6 * 2 * 2 = 24).

    ~20 spells per level, 9 levels, 180 spells max...bit too many for my liking. Kind of takes away the strategic planning for spell casters as they can learn pretty much every spell in their book. I like to have a limit, makes me think tactically about how many magic missiles, armour, shield (taking lvl 1 Mage spells as an example) I should memorise before succumbing to rest...or telling my mage to hide behind a tree if we're attacked!

    The ring of wizardry shouldn't stack with itself, first of all. If it does, that's a bug that needs to be fixed.

    Nevermind, I misunderstood the original post because at the time I couldn't view the image. Still think it's a bug or a mod though.

    @kilroy_was_here it's an exploit, technically. It's using two of the same item to achieve something that wasn't intended.

    Definitely a bug. IMO, ring of wiz in BG 2 is more balanced.

    Bah who says this is an exploit? Isn't it normal to have 3/4 of your level one spells be only memorised because of your possession of certain items? ;)

    The exploit to wear two rings of Gaxx for double the AC bonus and double the regen was way better though :)

    ToB extender gives your spell books a scroll up and scroll down button.
