They are both up to level 4. I checked the spell book and the spells are memorized. Any ideas about what I'm doing wrong? I installed only icewind dale and not any expansions. The single class cleric is memorizing his spells perfectly. Any help would be appreciated.

Are those characters by any chance wearing armor? IIRC, in the rules that IWD uses mages aren't allowed to wear anyh kind of armor if they want to cast spells.

If this is the case, then you can rather easily overcome it by removing armor when you want to cast spell, cast a spell, and then equip the armor once again.
