I've discovored that as long as you can draw the runes, and know how they form spells you don't have to have them in your spellbook. i haven't got magnia or Spectium, but I know that together they form the activate portal spell, and i have cast this as well.
However i'm stilll struggling with finding my way round, as on level all the exits for levesl 2 have been sealed off.
On level1 the akkabaa temple entrance is marked off, and I can see which paths lead to it, but I can't get anywhere near it, as the path that leads to it is blocked, and a long path around it isn't there, it's just cut off.
At the moment I can travel from level 1 to 3 and then to 4 etc, but i can't get to level 2, or where i want to on level 1.
I've even printed out a copy of the map from a website, which confirms that there should be pathways, but they aren't there. i even tried using a pickaxe to see if the walls would give way but no.
Can anyone help?

Some pathways can only be initiated from one side. This includes one from the temple into the goblin prison. Once activated, you can go both ways.

Thanks udasai, you've been a great help, and provided me with the news I was hoping for. I suspected that certain pathways, caves etc could only be accesed from 1 side, and as i'm in the wrong area I can't do it yet.
I think the only way i can get to level 2 is to go all the way to level 3, then to 4, and go all the way around onto level2.
Although there are 2 ways to travel to level 2 from level 1 they are both locked or there is no pathway there.
However if i had entered level 2 via level 4 before this would explain why the area has previously been explored (it appears on my map even though i can't get there) yet i can't get there.
Is this correct?
I keep getting lost, and these blocked areas aren't helping.

Since then I tried accesing level 2 via level 3 (not 4 as i stated earlier) but this pathway is also just a dead end, near the goblin king etc on level 3. I can get right next to level 2 on a seperate path, but the pathway of the exit to level 2 i can't reach.
I'm just wandering around in circles, the maps for levels 1 and 3 are completely explored, expect for the exits fo levels2, and i can go to any other level except level 2. Unless there is access to level2 from levels 4,5,6 7 or 8b i can't get there, as all the ways on level 1 and level 3 are sealed off, or not accesable. I've done all the quests, spoke to everyone, but in effect i'm trapped.

There's an entrance to the L2 temple in the bar on L1...pass phrase is Fat Kaa Pell, but that won't help you until somebody tells you it. I forget who tells you...I think the guy they finger for sacrificing chickens in the castle. Normally you have to do these:
- visit the outpost
- tell king about outpost path blocked
- stop ogre strike, they clear path
- tell king, he tells you to find out about the chicken sacrifice
- something happens...umm...check out (

Yes, i have the password, but can't get to the room to use it.
However I don't know anything about the chicken sacrafice.
Also not sure about this ogre strike
Is it level 3 where all this happens?
Where are the ogres.

I've now decided to start again, as I came across a goblin lord blocking a locked door with "rsetricted access" on it in level 3. I thought I had done the gem dealer bit with authorisation, but the fact I can't remember what I have and haven't done (i started my game nearly 2 years ago) means that I have started again to appreciate the story.(plus I was stuck)
At least i'll be able to understand what needs doing, and perhaps this will help me enjoy the game more.
In addition i will also have a good idea of how to solve quests, and which attribrutes to spend my skill points on.
This time I am going for a charicter who has spent all there points on strengh and dexerity, with melee, defence, object knowledge and a little casting being my main strenghs.
I'm sure you'll all wish me look on my new adventure.
