Scholar
	Basic Scholar: allows heroes to teach each other 1st and 2nd level spells, effectively trading spells between spell books.
	Advanced Scholar: allows heroes to teach each other any spell up to 3rd level, effectively trading spells between spell books.
	Expert Scholar: allows heroes to teach each other any spell up to 4th level, effectively trading spells between spell books.

Scholar is a secondary skill that allows hero to trade spells with allied heroes between spell books. Fifth level spells cannot be traded between spell books, other spells can be traded provided that one of the heroes have sufficient level of Scholar skill. As Scholar is strongly linked to spells, it is vital for the hero with Scholar to also have Wisdom.

•   Aine the Wizard (Basic)
•   Alamar the Warlock (Basic)

Scholar is a good skill for a supply hero. He or she will teach other ones all spells available, repeating the operation when the new level of Mage Guild gets built (make sure that heroes have Wisdom at appropriate level). One hero with that skill is sufficient, as both gathering heroes learn spells in the teammate's spell book. Possibly campaigns are the best place for Scholar, as heroes who advance to the next scenario start it with the spells from the previous one. Scholar is a terrific secondary skill for a secondary hero, and not the worst skill the main hero(es) could have.
