[(BG2, BGEE 0709) Bug] Potion of magic blocking

CamDawg

The potion of magic blocking is currently blocking spells of level 1-9. Per its description, it should only be blocking spells of levels 1-5.

Not that 6+ level spells are being thrown around much in BGEE, mind...

// potion of magic blocking should only block up to level 5 spells, per description
COPY_EXISTING ~potn33.itm~ ~override~
  LAUNCH_PATCH_FUNCTION ~DELETE_ITEM_EFFECT~ INT_VAR // delete existing 102 opcodes
    opcode_to_delete = "102" // ac bonus
    END
  FOR (index = 1 ; index < 6 ; index = index + 1) BEGIN // build back 1-5
    LAUNCH_PATCH_FUNCTION ~ADD_ITEM_EFFECT~ INT_VAR
      opcode        = "102" // display portrait icon
      target        = "1"   // target self
      resist_dispel = "1"   // dispel/bypass MR
      duration      = "30"  // duration
      parameter1    = "%index%" // spell failure
      type          = "3"   // magical abilities only
      END
  END

I'll add this.

Verified, this has been integrated internally and should be present in the next build.

Confirmed the removal of #102 (protection from spell levels) opcodes above level 5
@CamDawg: there is an opcode in this potion that removes all current magic effects, shouldn't that work only up to level 5 too? The text says so, but in fact, all effects are removed.

CamDawg

As I recall, the dispel opcode can only be adjusted to always dispel or use caster's/arbitrary level in the dispel formula. I don't think we can target it at power < 6.

Confirmed Fixed in Build 0803

I recruited a Candlekeep tutor into my party and had him drink a Potion of Magc Blocking (potn33). I then tried to cast Protection from Lightning on him (level 5) and it was resisted. Desintegrate (level 6) worked perfectly.

I hope this is a suitable test.
