    As a wild Mage there's always a chance she will cast some random odd thing. But honestly it rarely happens with me, her level seems to fluctuate a lot, but I usually get the spell I was looking for.

    Well at least it's good for a laugh! I don't why you're having such bad luck with her, I've had her in three different games and only rarely seen such things.

    it is a 5% chance to get what you cast or a random spell unless you cast chaos shield first. I have hard her turn into a wolf as well. Also she has summon a demon during the fight where you met her. She also one shotted a boss . Of course I have also had her one shot the entire party was well. Thats part of her charm

    It's only a 5% chance. And please omit the name of the final boss, this is the spoiler-free forum.

    Your right on both accounts I altered my post as requested and slapped myself for saying 50 when it is 5. Don't know why I had that in my head as the numbers

    Are you using Nahal's Reckless Dweomer? (The spell that has arrows pointing in every direction) Because that one automatically causes a Wild Surge, which is a random effect. Otherwise it's just a 5% chance.

    Dude. That spell specifically says it causes a random wild surge. You won't get far in this game casting spells without first checking what they do.

    @Madhax: That's not entirely accurate - NRD allows you to cast any spell in your spellbook. The catch is that it'll immediately attach a Wild Surge to that spell, and anything can happen as a result: it can misfire, be cast at double strength, petrify your target, etc. But sometimes it just casts the spell you chose.

    I'll edit out the "just", it was misleading. Still, this easily explains why Neera's surging all over the place.

    Chaos shield doesn't affect your chance of getting a wild surge, it just increases the value of your d100 roll to determine the surge's effects, in theory improving the results (in general a highter roll is better).
