There is a certain spell that would be wonderful in BG2:EE. I want to know why this was never implemented as a spell!

    It was a spell in the Dale of Windy Ice:

    Mind Blank (Abjuration)
    Level: 8
    Range: Caster
    Duration: 1 Day
    Casting Time: 1
    Area of Effect: Caster
    Saving Throw: None
    In the interests of one's self-control and privacy, Mind Blank shields a creature's mind from almost any mental effect - Charm, Command, Domination, Fear, Feeblemind, and any scrying by crystal balls or other divination methods.

    @CamDawg Dale of Windy Ice? Why would a white dragon be named Dale? He should have a name like Dalekursaxisple'tsaramnoran. (Dragon names are so much easier to come up with when there is a keyboard in front of you.)

    Now, a new spell such as this in BG2:EE would be a nice addition.

    Although having a 1-day duration might be a little overpowered.

    He was just Dale to his friends. I shall miss him.

    8th level spell, man. It should be powerful!

    How could you miss him? He was big as a barn! Maybe try using true strike next time?

    I already did. That is why I shall miss him.

    No so different from just equipping the amulet all day I guess and you have to waste a L8 spell slot for it.

    Nice addition if there is no cleric in the party. Basically a chaotic command + resist/remove fear.

    In some versions of P&P, Mind Blank also functioned as Spell Immunity: Divination (keeping you from showing up in prophecies, making you immune to Scrying, and whatnot).

    It was so important, Wizards cast it every morning before showering.
