Can't learn spell from scroll

[Bagel Bear]

For some reason it isn't letting my Wizard learn a spell it doesn't have learned from a scroll that I have. I have enough gold and it lists the scroll on the menu to learn new spells.

EDIT: 8/11/23, seems to work now? Maybe a consequence of Hotfix #3?

Have you unlocked the corresponding spell slot level? Higher tier spells can't be learned until that tier is unlocked.

Also is it from the cleric spell list? They cant learn those

I'm pretty sure it was a Wizard learnable spell. I'll have to look next time I boot up the game.

Are the spell lists different from actual 5e lists?

you need to free up spell slots if you want to learn from scrolls. I did that on Gale and he learned them fine

Open your spellbook, click on learn more spells.
Every single spell you see in that list is a scroll you can learn.
If theres a spell you cannot select, it is probably a higher level spell that you havnt unlocked yet (You unlock a new spell level every 2 levels starting at 1st level and ending at 11)

then you click learn. if you're seeing spells it wont let you learn its probably a slot you dont have yet. i have never seen a spell from another list show up in that panel and i literally learn every single spell.

So this might be a bug. I was playing in split screen multiplayer and it wasn't letting us learn the spell. I booted the game up to see what spells these were for this thread and it worked just fine in single player.

I reloaded the save with split screen and it seems to work too. Very weird. Maybe some sort of bug that was fixed with Hotfix #3?

I had the full party inventory open (all 4 next to each other) and went to spellbook and wanted to teach the two wizards in team some new tricks. Game would not let me.

Finally I realized that the active character was one of the other party members! So either use the individual inventory screen or make sure to have the right party member selected
