An Adept is a spellcasting scribe. They have much in common with Clerics, but there are some big differences. They are less proficient in the use of healing magics. Adepts have dabbled in the mages' Arcane Magic department a bit to make up for that. This allows them to cast some damaging spells during combat. They also have the use of transportation spells and last but not least: they are able to write the spells they know on scrolls for the use of others and themselves. An Adept's prime stat is wisdom.

Player Review by Celest

Cross between a cleric and a mage, strong on the cleric. Adepts get most of the cure spells (all the way to heal) and most of the nice remove type spells (remove curse, blindness, etc.). Adepts also get a (as I understand it) pretty nice offensive spell in their ACID BOLT. Having never grouped with or played an adept, I would not know about the potency of this spell. The best asset of an adept IMHO is their ability to scribe scrolls. Sure, these scrolls cost a bit to scribe (both in $$ and in mana) but you could make back on auction what it costs for a slough of scrolls. Also, scribing SANCT scrolls gives the adept an ability markedly similar to a cleric. The ability to cast sanct on another player. In addition, one could never get too full to recite a scroll, as is the case with potions and grains and pills and etc. This and this alone, is why I carry a SCROLL of emergency instead of a potion of emergency.
Anyway, just my 2 cents...
