I don't know either. Something to do with active members maybe? Or honors?
Since I got no help but one suggestion on my question, I got Spell Combat and found some more badges to get Alchemy. I was in the library trying to get spells and I got killed in no time flat. I have no spells so if anyone finds any, I could use them. Thanks.
I may not have been here for a while, but I'm still playing NW! My alt, 'a mime' just got pwned by LadyM 
Sorry about that, didn't know it was you.
I've got a whole bunch of spells, tell me what you need and I'm sure one of my characters can provide. And don't worry about the kill, mimes are evil

EDIT: Here's a list of the spells I've got. I want to keep a few of them myself, btu I don't really know what they do, which are most effective, or even how to learn them!
