Few noob questions

darkllord

So, I returned to Icewind dale after loooooong period and I would like to have few answers regarding this game, because I forgot too much.

1/ I came to the Vale of shadows to investigate some tombs and there are some enemies called "Lesser shadow" and "Shadow" in this area. I managed to kill all Lesser shadows, but one Shadow remained and I cannot kill or even hurt him. All I got is "weapon ineffective" in the chat window. Is this some kind of bug or how can I kill him? Because he is following me now and repeatedly killing all my party members, therefore I´m stuck right now.

2/About mages or all spellcasters in general. How can I cast the spell? If I got some spell scroll and I open it and click write down the spell, it is inscribed in my spellbook and the scroll is consumed. To cast the inscribed spell I need to obtain another scroll? And how can I put my inscribed spells to quickbar to use them?

Thank you for clarification and having patince with noob:-)

NOTE: I´m playing ond Android device.

1. Yeah the Shadow in the Vale gave me troubles too, the only way to damage it, is to use magic. So you could try to find a magical weapon. Or use your spells to take the Shadow down...

2. When you scribe a spell, you have to put it in your spellbook (on android double tap AFAIK), and then rest your party, before the spell becomes available. You can NOT use the scribed spells in quick slots, you have to go into the spellbook and choose. But you can use the scroll in the quick slot, to cast it right away (but then it will disappear after use)...

Hope this will help

Weapon ineffective usually means you need a magical (+1 at least) weapon to hurt it.
Or it could be the weapon type (slashing, piercing etc), change out weapons and try again.
