Could a monk ever learn Improved fireball? What about other hard to learn spells? Is there a known formula for predicting such things?

You don't have to be taught all that much; you just need to acquire more cautiousness, an almost healthy amount of sheer paranoia, and a more fine-tuned "OH SHIT RUN!" reflex. ~Silfir
Any class can learn any spell, but I would sell my Wish spellbook as an Orc Barbarian. There is some formulaes, others will chip in later.
What I will say is: have learning, literacy, concentration, level and luck(?) high. Be satiated. In other words shoot for 100s in skills, wear items that make you extremely lucky(is what I do anyway).
30+ Lit, Lvl? Don't be teleporting randomly now.
Oh, bless the book.
I see you are not new, so you probably know all I said, sry.

Learn to learn.

I don't know a formula but difficult spells like improved fireball are too much at this point. If you gain some levels, eat the oracle and wear the CoS you might succeed.
You steal a scroll labelled HITME. The orc hits you.
Also bless the spellbook.
In any case, Improved Fireball is almost completely impractical, especially in prereleases, I'm not sure you should go for it.
I like my women like my ADOM loot - hunted as treasure and in extra quantity.
But it makes you a monk with Hadoken! :P

Level has a quite large effect. At level 9, you probably won't be able to learn the spell. At level 20, you might have a shot.
Hoping to win with every class, doomed. Archer, Barbarian, Bard, Beastfighter, Druid, Elementalist, Farmer, Fighter, Monk, and ULE Priest down.
Why is Improved Fireball worse in prereleases?
It uses a lot of PP (base cost + extra cost for every square of distance you throw it), which is bad with the new HP casting penalties.
