with targeted magic?

I can lock weapons at hte same exact ranks, I can lock armor at the same exact ranks

Medium Edged: 69 85% mind lock

Parry Ability: 69 89% mind lock

Light Chain: 56 85% mind lock

Primary Magic: 102 95% thoughtful

Harness Ability: 88 92% thoughtful

Power Perceive: 79 02% concentrating

Magical Devices: 54 42% learning

Targeted Magic: 72 77% learning

I have tried GZ, FS, AEL all at minimum prep and 5 mana over minimum prep. I've tried Rock Trolls, I've tried Beisswurms, I've tried Immature Firecats. And it won't move. At all. Everything else, hey, no troubles. Targeted magic. No go. If someone can help, it would be greatly appreciated. If not, I'll be retiring my Warmie as of later this week.

In my experience, beisswurms are lousy for training TM.

What I would recommend would be bone wolves down in Leth.

You didn't post your MO, so I can't coment on that.

My pet hobby horse: Work your Power Perception. You should be just starting to see adjacent mana, and in about 20 ranks you will actually start to see an effective increase in room mana. Always yummy.

Depending on your courage and defensive buffs, you could also take a flier on sand sprites out on Ratha. Even with all buffs up at maximum, though, you will get hurt in sandies.

I find I learn best by prepping GZ at 1 mana over the minimum (reduces the chance of MR failure) and snapping it off as fast as I can, no targeting, and not even waiting for the fully prepared message.

And sandies cap on TM at exactly 100 ranks, in my experience. They teach other skills, including weapons, higher than that.

One disadvantage for sandies, though, is that they cast Tingle on you, which can both make you drop your weapon (negating Parry as a defense) and held shield (negating Shield as a defense), but that a successful Tingle also gives you something like a 10 second RT. Arm-worn shields are immune to being Tingled, and high stats can reduce/eliminate their chance of getting off a successful Tingle.

They are, however, a swarmer, so keep an eye on your overall mind state, and I have heard of people who have managed to die from the death of a thousand papercuts. ::shrug:: YMMV.

on my way to blood wolves, and snap cast GZ? I had always thought waiting till full target aim was best? hrmm..things have changed the last few years...ok, I'll give that a shot.

snap cast currently trains the best, full-target kills the best in terms of a cast-to-damage ratio.

>>wow thats a huge difference. Strange difference, but Mind locked TM. Odd that I can't mind lock with Rock Trolls, but I can with Blood Wolves, even though I can hit both with my TM spells. It just don't make sense, but oh well I guess. Thanks for the tips guys, now to get back into the swing of things.

Depends on what spells you are using, TM learning is based on how hard you hit and I would think that Rock Trolls would be resistant to a spell like ael while it would hit a blood wolf really hard
