Mage Guild Level 2	5   4   5   4   4   4   1000	• Mage Guild Level 1	Four level 2 spells become available for heroes to learn.
Mage Guild Level 3	5   6   5   6   6   6   1000	• Mage Guild Level 2	Three level 3 spells become available for heroes to learn.
Mage Guild Level 4	5   8   5   8   8   8   1000	• Mage Guild Level 3	Two level 4 spells become available for heroes to learn.
Mage Guild Level 5	5   10   5   10   10   10   1000	• Mage Guild Level 4	One level 5 spell becomes available for heroes to learn.

Mage guilds are structures that teach heroes new spells, refill hero's spell points when they stay overnight in town, and the place where heroes can acquire a spell book for a price of 500 . Mage guilds may be upgraded level-by-level up to the fifth level in most of the towns. The exceptions are Stronghold and Fortress which may only upgrade mage guild up to level three, and Castle and Cove  which may upgrade mage guild up to level four. For each level, a random set of spells becomes available at the guild, based on the given town's probabilities for specific spells. For example, Inferno towns have higher odds of having fire school spells. A mage guild upgraded up to level five will teach:

• Five 1st level spells
• Four 2nd level spells
• Three 3rd level spells (highest mage guild in Stronghold and Fortress)
• Two 4th level spells (highest mage guild in Castle and Cove )
• One 5th level spell

Additionally, Tower with Library will teach one extra spell of each level, and Conflux  with Aurora Borealis will teach every non-banned spell. It should be noted that the map maker can disable almost all spells in the map editor, although at least one spell has to be left available. In such case, some of the slots may be left empty when the mage guild is built or upgraded. In addition to variances in spell probabilities, there are several spells that cannot appear in each town's mage guild.

Spell probabilities

NOTE: In these tables:
1) Good/Evil/Neutral factions have been colored as sometimes spells are available based on alignment.
2) A "-" means a Mage Guild of that level is not available in this town.

Mage Guild Probabilities

The values in this table are the probabilities of a spell appearing in a given mage guild. These values are not in the game files.

Details

• The formula for % chance for a spell to appear in a given mage guild is close to 1-(1-(x/100))^y, where x is the value in the Spell Slot Probabilities table and y is the # of spell slots for the spell level (e.g. 5 for level 1, 2 for level 4, +1 if the town is a Tower containing a library).
  • For Example: Magic Arrow has a 30% chance of appearing in a given level 1 spell slot (of which there are 5), so the chance to appear in a given mage guild is 1-(1-30/100)⁵=1-(0.7)⁵=1-0.16807 = ~83%
• BUT - this formula assumes that a spell could show up multiple times in a level which it can't. If a different spell is chosen for the first available slot, then the formula for the second available slot would be 1-(1-(x/(100-z))), where z is the value in this table of the chosen spell.
• Every subsequently chosen other spell would modify the formula for the probability of the next slot (e.g. 1-(1-(x/(100-z₁-z₂-z₃...)))
• If a spell could appear multiple times, the formula for every slot would be 1-(1-(x/100)).

NOTE: The values in this table are based on the rough, simplistic formula (1-(1-(x/100))^y). The real values will be slightly higher. If someone wants to calculate the real values and edit this table, go for it!
NOTE: The 2 Tower values are for without/with the library.
