Ritual seal for gathering hall? Mage/ wand level3?

[030617]

1) I cant employ my students because I need a ritual seal for a gathering hall. How do I get it? 2) I have the version of the game where you search horizontal and not vertical and you need very soon skill3, what means a wand and mage level 3 I think. How do I get a mage/ wand level 3?

1) Ritual seal needs to be researched and then it can be placed in your school like any other piece of furniture

2) I'm not familiar with any version like that, but there is a difference between "a mage being level 3", "having 3 levels in a skill", and "having a tier 3 wand"--those are all different.

Your staff (except for the ghost) should already be at least mage level 3, and each of them should have skill level 3 in one type of magic. But if you need level 3 in a particular type of magic (like lightning), and none of your current staff are specialized in that element, then you need to craft a wand with that element, use it to summon a student, teach that student until they are fully trained, and then hire them as staff.

To get a mage with a tier 3 wand, you need to search the underschool until you find a greater wand transfigurator. You will also need to craft a tier 3 wand for them to wield (requires lategame research) and have a mage of the same element who already has a tier 2 wand (requires midgame research and a regular wand transfigurator).

Thank You for your help Manxome, I appreciate that.
1) I found the ritual seal socket in the research tree.
2) And I know now that the capability and wand level are not the same.
It is important to have a lightning-mage professor from the beginning on to perform elaborated research at least with my version of the game (v1.0.527-1423-79923e36).

It's not a bad idea, but no, it is not "important". The first researches, including Basic Rituals, require only lightning skill 1 which all starting staff have. You do not need a proper lightning mage until the techs which require a mage's study, by which point you could have trained up a new lightning staff member.
