The randomness can be a pain. My starting character was a Paladin and I didn't get resurrection until the land of dead.

As to my mage, I have a level 17 going and still haven't found Ghost Blade.

finally found resurrection! King Mark had it in his inventory after i killed general undead leader guy!

big sigh... ahhhhhhh

Finally at level 21 i found it in Thousand river ,after i turned in the quest to get a flower from Great forest.Damn it, and when I think i had it at level 1 and i wasted on training grounds... Now only if i can get my hands on a hypnotize spell.
