    Most used spell: Cure Light Wounds
    Favorite Spell: Horrid Wilting, nothing quite like draining the life force out of everything in the area!

    In PnP D&D I personally like the spell combo: Zone of Respite (locks down dimensional travel), Cloudkill with a second mage prepped to drop a windowless forcecage! Go ahead and sit in there for the next 30 minutes sucking down that poison!

    I've always had a soft spot for Otiluke's Resilient Sphere and in BG it didn't have a save. Useful both for saving helpless party members and as a poor man's Maze. It's also nice to combine with contingency. The best time to use it is to hold the demon in Ulgoth's Beard, whilst you killed the cultists.

    Nahal's reckless dweomer, let the wild magic fun begin!
  • CorvinoCorvino Member Posts: 2,269
    @DougPiranha Agreed completely. Screw Chaos shield, just use Nahal's, try and Timestop/Improved Alacrity/Abi-Dalzim's and see what happens.

    Falling Cow? Why not? Pretty Sparkles? Maybe that Cullen pillock was a wild mage...

    Deathspell and Cloudkill! They make so many encounters so much easier.

    As I say in every magic thread (or just the 1 :P)...MAGIC MISSSSSILLLLLLEEEEEEE!!! And than Flesh to Stone :D

    Magic missile, animate dead, and Horrid wilting are my favorites. I'm also a big fan of dispel and always have at least one use prepared.

    As a Cleric/Illusionist, I find this thread quite difficult to answer!

    In BG1 : Sleep, Mirror Image, Hold Person, Haste, Emotion.
    BG2 : Melf's Minute Meteor, Stoneskin, Lower Resistance.

    =) I am no doubt forgetting four dozen of others. I switch my spell library pretty much constantly, as I play solo!

    The jelly is also great, it has 100% magic resistance, but after you get the silence clickie shortsword, spider all the way! 10 levels of swashbuckler = super low AC, attack bonuses and thief skills on top, you can actually disarm traps while your a spider too lol. I didnt even get to trying out Tensers Transformation, that spell is just brutal on a Swash / Mage and makes you as good as a Kensei.

    I really really want to do another playthrough, but I'm waiting for the enhanced edition first, I'm going to try a Fighter / Mage / Thief solo next. I've already done Cleric / Mage, Kensei / Mage and Swash / Mage solos so far.

    "Magic is impressive, but now Minsc leads! Swords for everyone!"

    On a serious note however, one word. "FIREBALL"
    The old version where you cast it and this massive flame wave roars out. It was the cheesiest spell in the game seeing the range of it was beyond aggro and if you had 2 mages, game over.

    This is of course all within BG1.
