Shadowdark Warrior/Mage

My very first D&D character in 1980 was an elf, and so I've been in love with various fighter/magic user character types ever since. Here is my attempt to create one for Shadowdark. I made a deliberate effort to make it weaker in combat than a fighter and worse at spellcasting than a wizard so as not to supersede either standard class. I might have overdone it, in fact. Let me know what you think.
I suspect some will say "Just play a Knight of St Ydres or Necromancer" but that doesn't scratch this itch. For me, the appeal of a warrior mage is that they are seeking occult knowledge. I want them to have to hunt for spells, rather than have them granted.
