Where to find some certain, wizard spell scrolls?

Hmmm, as far as i can remember, there were only five wizard spells, that at least in 1 original, were unobtainable (you could find nowhere their scrolls). I was wondering, if anyone found them in the EE, if they are at least obtainable there... Never hurts to ask, so i thought i might do just that!
1) The three level, ToSC spell, "Wraith Form".
2) The four level, ToSC spell, "Polymorph OTHER" (not self one).
3) The five level spells, Animate Dead, Cone of Cold, Shadow Door.
Has anyone found them in game, WITHOUT console, editor, or cheats? And be kind enough to share the secret of their location? Thanks in advance!

Otherwise everything else is a random drop (and actually its looking like out of the remaining ones the only one that is accessible from a random drop might be Polymorph Other).
2) Polymorph Other is available from Thalantyr in High Hedge.
3) There appears to be a scroll of Cloudkill under Candlekeep...hrm, how bizarre--there is one available in the area just south of Nashkell, just sitting there in a container waiting to be picked up. That must be new--I don't recall that being there before. There is another one in the Firewine ruins, presuming you pry it from Lendarn's cold, dead hands.
There is a scroll of Monster Summoning III in Durlag's Tower on the warder level.
There is a scroll of Shadow Door where you show up after getting out of jail in Candlekeep.
There are *two* scrolls of Hold Monster available in Durlag's Tower.
There is a scroll of Chaos in the Merchant House, the one where the sea charts are found, as well as available for sale in the Sorcerous Sundries.
There is a scroll of Feeblemind in Durlag's Tower; Shandalar has one, as well, presuming you can take it from him.
Sadly, the rest are available only from Dinguer.
Also what area beneath candlekeep did you find the cloudkill scroll? I wasn't able to find it when looking through the area/cre files.
2) Unless Thalantyr at some point upgrades his variety selection, i never seen that on him (and always have been a regular customer).
3) In candlekeep revisit, i have never seen one, maybe i missed it. South of Nashkel, in secret stash, one has always been hidden since forever, from the originals, day 1. And Lendarn had one, too, you are right on this one.
4) Shadow door in candlekeep? Will search carefully for that one. It is a very broken and potentially useful spell.
Now if only animate dead and cone of cold could be pinpointed, i would be dying from happiness... I have been irritated for years now, that i can never complete my baldur's gate 1 spell book, grrr!
I might have been mistaken. As I double-check now, I see ar0511 (under Durlag's Tower) and ar5300 (south of Nashkel). *shrug* It happens.
Wraith Form is missing from the current version of BG2EE (the spell itself, not just the scrolls), but should be fixed in next patch.
Usually when I'm going to import a mage into BG2 I erase all of the spells from my spell book except for the ones I use in the opening dungeon. That way I can write them in my book again for the higher XP amount and don't feel like I'm wasting them on Imoen.
By the way, shadow door is said to break your game or something? Don't remember if that is concerning 1 or 2, but it was discussed somewhere... What does it exactly break, and when?
There was also an exploit involving using it to travel over a vast area of the next map. I think by click on the entrance to that next area while you have the spell selected for casting. Something around those lines anyways.
If you knew where to click, you could literally skip all the game with enough Dimension Doors.

He basically skips several chapters with this trick and has everything explained.
I don't use Dimension Door to get into Baldur's Gate early, though. I updated the script for the gate guards so that if they are charmed they will gladly open the gate for their very good friends, who are clearly trustworthy and not involved with that iron crisis or bandit activity in the region.
