Creating a melee weapon that can also cast spells

Mike

Is it possible to create a Hammer of Thor type of weapon that works as a melee weapon but also gives you a special ability (maybe the use item) to cast a spell such as call lightening or storm of vengeance (thanks leeho)? Thanks, I just watched Thor and feel like messing around.

I prefer dltcep. Can you point me in the right direction as far as the use item is concerned?

I don't think there's a spell called lightning storm.... perhaps you mean storm of vengeance? It's relatively uncomplicated, you need to simply copy effect file for fireball/lightning spell from items such as staff of magi, paste the effect to the item you want, change spell effect to that of storm of vengeance.

When adding extended effects such as an ability to a weapon in dltcep do you need to make a new header and define it as such?

I don't have bg2 on my computer for the staff of magi item. Can you post the itm file here or point me to it so I can look at it with editor? Thanks

Ok so can you walk me through adding an ability to a warhammer in Near Infinity. I would like for it to be a regular hammer but with the ability to call lightening 3x per day.

Thanks
