How do I learn special abilities?

How do I learn special abilities? I have over 100 experience but I can't learn anything. Also can all classes learn magic or just certain classes?

I don't remember everything, but I think the abilities have prerequisites so you need certain stats or other abilities so you can learn them. Oh yeah, and you can't just learn them from the menu, you have to find a trainer.

Magic kind of comes in 3 'levels', I don't know what the official names for them in this universe are... Most people can't cast spells at all. Some have magic talent, but they don't have proper training to use it. Real mages have both talent and training. Then there are elves who are magical creatures in this universe, so they can always use magic and have a couple of special spells available.

How this actually works in this game is fighter classes can't learn spells at all, but I think they have higher stats. The 'talented' people like Charlatans and some others can learn some spells but not the most complex ones. Battlemages and such can learn all spells except the elf ones.

I haven't actually played an elf, so I'm not totally sure about them, but I THINK elven fighters get the charlatan + elf spells and elven mages get everything.

Some skills cannot be unlocked until higher levels like Dodge II, Armor II, weapon talents. You also need attributes to be high enough like Dodge I needs agility 12. Alot of talents reqires 150+ exp, stats reqires 350+ exp to increase. Dodge is good for mages, it help's alot!

With Magic, Elves have access to some spells that humans don't, but don't have access to a lot of spells that humans do. In general, the trained mages can learn the summon spells and big AOE attack spells, and untrained and Elves cannot. The untrained humans are Charlatan and Alchemist. Elves have a few spells only they can learn, including ice cold warrior, which is a fantastic spell.
