In principle, if it looks like a sword it counts as a sword and if it
looks like an axe it counts as an axe.  (Extreme case:  I was told that
you *do* get a bowmaster's bonus with a catapult.)  But MG is pretty
sloppy about consistency, so you'll have to try it and let us know.

>3 What is the best way to learn new spells? (Research or Learn from guild?)

If you have no doubt about your ability to research a spell successfully,
that's better, since you save money and have a chance of increasing your
level while you're at it.  (It's generally cheaper to research a spell
than to buy it.)  If you do have doubts, and money is no object, then
you're better off buying the spell from the guild, since that always works.
If you're playing a Hero position, researching spells of up to third level
is relatively safe, especially in guilds.

Picking up third-level spells you need is *not* a problem in Legends.
(If all else fails, go to a church of your religion, submit a special
action, and ask the local high priest.)

>5 Are intimidated characters at all loyal?

My impression is that intimidation has the effect of lowering the
target character's loyalty rating 'permanently'.  They'll be as
loyal as their modified loyalty rating decrees.  (They won't "remember"
that you intimidated them, if that's what you're asking.)
