Mages Gone Wild

in General Discussion (Spoiler Warning!)


Playing as a wild mage we know all sorts of weird stuff can happen. Just now I decided to fire off a Wish spell in hopes of restoring my spells without napping and it triggered with an area effect, giving every party member their own private Djinni, and even little Cespenar who was hanging out with the group got asked for a wish by a Djinni. This apparently resulted in that I, for a very brief moment got to play as Cespenar. Unfortunately his wisdom seemed appropriate for his character so his options were all negative.

Anyone else had some funny effect from a wild surge?

    Area effect wish is a nice option. Cast another spell of the same level, imprisonment, when trying to summon a planetar in a solo no-reload is ... not so nice.

    I guess that's a good time to run for your dear life.
    I often see people complain about her wild surging during that encounter but somehow it never happened to me.

    I can never recall what happened in which patch, those things just don't stick to my memory core, but I remember it happening to me a couple of times in an earlier version of BG1.

    It's just RNG. I had Neera casting Fireball as a surge and thus killing my PC twice in that encounter.

    the first time I ever used neera, the first wild surge she got was gate, and all she had to say was; oops sorry

    good thing that happened in beregost at level one because I was more than able to take it out of coarse....
