A thief cannot memorize any spells in this game.

Maybe you refer to some multi-class/dual-class combination of a thief/mage? Then know that mages cannot cast spells if wearing armor. At most you may wear robes (or very rare pieces of enchanted armor).

he is likely referring to Imoen.

and yes if you put armor on imoen in chateau irenicus it will disable her wizard spells.

Click the character that you wish to cast the spell. In the action bar at the bottom of the screen you will see an icon (cresent moon with stars) near the middle. That will bring up the spells that character has memorized for the day.

If you are wondering where you can change your memorized spells, look to the action bar on the left side of the screen, you will see your spellbook. you can select which spells are memorized and able to used in combat or that day.

However, if you are casting spells from a thief, you must make sure they are not wearing any armor. Not even leather. Either naked or in a robe.

many thanks the removal of armour does the trick, how do i get off the first level of Amn.
I go through the portals but cant work out how to beat the flying creatures

The mephits? If you mean in the first room after the portal, you need to destroy the Mephit Portals, the little shadowy looking things inside the cages. Otherwise, the mephits will keep spawning.

how do you manage that, im overwhelmed trying to fight of the little blighters

If you're having trouble, hit and run.

Make a rush for a portal. Destroy it. Run back to the last room and kill all the mephits that follow you. Then heal up and attack the next portal, etc.

There are other ways, but that's probably the easiest strategy at this point.

that worked

When you get to higher levels you can find armor for characters that will NOT disable the spellcasting - make sure you read the stats of all items you find
Also for imoen you can make her cast the armor spell so she doesnt need to wear armor and it will allow her to keep casting spells with a better armor class
