Unable to cast certain spells some games

[unmerged(544050)]

Some games I am unable to cast all the spells I have researched, even though they have no religious requirement and I have adequate mana - they don't even show up in the spell book. It seems to be erratic, and I'm not sure if this is by intent (race dependent), or a bug.

Specific spells I have noticed myself unable to cast some games are:
- Mana spring
- Prosperity
- Vampiric weapon enchant
- Agile mind

As you can imagine, these are pretty frustrating to not be able to cast when you research them in a game you've spent hours on.

On a related note, I find that when I cast buffs on Wolves of Helia nothing happens - is this a feature of their elemental immunity, a bug or something else?
EDIT: Found the answer to the Helia issue in another thread

thanks for any help

Elemental Immunity blocks enchantment. Same goes for Helia's Archers

If you are sure having them researched AND it is not a known bug, there is just one thing left - you filtered for a specific kind of spells and forgot to switch off that filter.

No, it isn't that. When it happens I cycle through all of the possible filters just in case, scroll all the way in each direction.

I've had the same issue with Agile Mind, I researched it but it never showed up in the spellbook.
This definately seems to be a bug that needs addressing.

This is a bug in the expanded spell list view. If you switch back to the original spell list view, then you should be able to see all the spells.

Thanks - can you please specify what you mean by expanded and original spell list views? How does one revert to original? I always just click on the icon on the top left of screen near research

see the responses (including mine) from this forum topic

(you must be registered to see it).

Essentially there is a DOUBLE ARROW button on the lower right frame of the spell book to toggle you between VERTICAL SCROLL (the 'safe' way to see all spells) and the left/right fancy arrows (flip pages like a book, but this mode is thought to be buggy and cause a memory leak = slow down over time).

Great, thank you

Aaah, that causes the memory leak.
