magic pets lose spells when tamed

Wouldn't that be neat??

They would forget their spells when they are tamed and have to be retaught by dropping the spells scroll onto them..


Another cool thing if this happened, you could load certain spells, like only loading healing and lightning onto them..

Cool idea, however I think that it would make tamed pets much more powerful as you could limit (like you said) exactly what spells they will be casting.

One of the reasons why pets are balanced in their current state is because you cannot control what spells they will cast out of their arsenal (which is based upon their magery level). In one case, they may drop a double flamestrike, but in another, just a lightning or magic arrow.

If we didn't have the ability to raise skill via skill scroll, then I might say that it sounds fair, but because of the skill scrolls, pets would not need to have the lower level spells to get to GM in magery and be able to cast 6th/7th circle spells.
