Sorcerer cant memorize spells - bug?

[bariumdose]

Hello,

I just bot this game from Best Buy's bargain bin. I applied the Patch 1.4 as instructed. But my sorcerer can't seem to meorize spells when encamped and resting.

Has anyone had this problem before? Is it a bug? Or, am I suppose to do something to have the sorcerer memorize spells. I casted a few magic missiles and wanted to memorize them.

Also, in a different party I'm playing, I noticed that my sorcerer starts the game without any spells memorized except the cantrips. And I have the same problem of not being able to memorize spells while encamped. This would indicate that there's a bug in my game.

Any advice would be most welcomed.

You choose extra spells at certain levels and the amount of spells you can cast increases each level. You can only cast the spells you have chosen at the new levels. Those will be displayed under the Arcane spells selection and on your character sheet. No memorisation required.
You can cast the spells again after you rest.

Also, you need a minimum charisma to actually have and cast spells. If you have been drained, you'll need to restore your character and he'll be casting again after a night of sleep.

I think I didn't give a good description of my spellcasting problem.

Even after resting several times in a safe area, my sorcerer can't get his level 1 spells back. I select on the Arcane spells menu and the level 1 spells he picked during character generation are still greyed out after resting. Has anyone had this problem?

I select on the Arcane spells menu and the level 1 spells he picked during character generation are still greyed out after resting. And my sorcerer has a 16-17 Charisma, if I recall, so he definitely has more than the
required minimum for spellcasting. The problem is even after resting his level 1 spells don't return.

Luis made a important point. Depending on who you fight some monsters can drain abilities. Alot of times it happens quick and you may not realize it. I'm not sure that resting will restore this. I believe it requires a cleric spell or a wand. If your charisma drops below a certain point you will not be able to cast.

Check your current stats and any spells that are currently in operation on the character. Spells such as Silence will prevent the character from casting (though they may go away after resting).
