Maybe you should show more hesitant and try it tomorrow again, to learn a new language needs time :)

It has to do with the ''cap'', ''You can not concentrate on learning right now'' and all of that, it has to be down for you to read a page of the book. One cap after reading a page should last about an hour IG, three hours out of game. (Please correct me any admins if I gave out too much or said anything wrong)

Not to sound insensitive, but you also have to think how smart Gurk is. He maybe having a bad day or may have drunk to much *winks* By that I mean he may not have enough intelligence to learn it.

He may have been lucky and had a smart day when he started.

I don't think this is giving anything away that shouldn't be, so...

The INT requirement for ancient is (or was) 13. So, technically, a mage could meet the requirements for learning magic but not for learning ancient.

Maybe, bad/good days? There are some days with int+2 or-2. Maybe thats the reason?

The second chapter worked for gurk this time. Must need to be completely fresh not a hint of tiredness? ... May be a hit and miss thing...
