Help with circles of Zerthimon

Right, after much effort I've unlocked and read all 8 circles. Now I have the spell disc things that you get, but...

For some reason I can only copy the 2nd and 3rd. The 4th and onwards won't let me - message "you have failed to copy the spell" and I promptly lose the item from my inventory.

Is this a bug? Or a feature? Or is the ability to copy those spells unlocked by a later action?

low int gives you a percentile chance to succesfully scribe a spell.

So, the lower the intelligence the less chance I have of scribing a spell?

EXactly

There's a tangible link between your INT and the number of spells you're capable of learning. Pump up your int and you'll be even able to memorize an endless amount of them (it starts with, hmm, im not sure, but something about 19 of int?).

Dont have high int = not a mage

(its the most vital characteristic of a mage)

Having a low INT does limit the number of spells you can copy to your spell book, but in Torment as long as you have room for the spell you will not fail to copy it. The chance to fail to copy a spell was removed from Torment (but you still need room to copy it, like I said).

And make sure you don't have any magic resistance. When copying the Circles (but not normal scrolls) there is a chance to fail to copy them equal to your MR because of a bug.
