When casting 'Blur' there is a brief sound of a melee attack instead of just the spell effect.

The expected behavior is just he spell effect.

    I think the sound is intentional.

    It definitely does not do this in the original BG. In BG:EE there is both the spell effect sound and the melee sound. The melee sounds erroneous and always makes me think I got hit while casting.

    Considering as there is no portrait icon for this effect, the additional melee sound makes it hard to determine if the spell went off successfully without checking the portrait page. THAT is the frustrating part.

    A lot of things in BG:EE are going to be different from the original BG1. BG:EE uses a modified version of the BG2 engine. Many things were changed and enhanced and many more things sounded and looked different in BG2. I think the sound effect was added to blur and, while it sounds similar to an attack, it does sound slightly different if you listen closely.

    Regardless, I guarantee you the sound effect is supposed to be there.
