  The Wild Forest is area dependant. Otherwise, changing her class should be suffecient—except in cases where it is supposed to happen (i.e. the Wild Forest).

  Thank you! I suspected that, but your reply saves me some experimenting. Much appreciated.

  Also, removing the only limitation to her class really means that she gets extra spells (and castings) for free. But then, who cares about balance???

  If his solution is changing her class, then she'll lose the extra spells. I don't think his intention is to make Neera more powerful. I think he just wants to get rid of the annoyance of wild surges.

  There are several options available. I once made a mod for someone who didn't like wild surges. It changes Adoy's belt so that it makes the wearer immune to wild surges.
  
  I also recently found out about a debugging option that allows you to cause each and every spell that is cast to make a specific wild surge happen. You have to edit your baldur.ini and insert the following line:

  'Game Options',    'Wild Surge Keys',    '1',

  Once that is done you can cycle through the surges by pressing ctrl-h. Surge Number 0 is the default behavior and Surge Numbers 1-100 are the respective surges as listed on the wild surge table in the manuals.
  
  I would recommend my mod first however since it is probably the least invasive way of controlling the surges.

  So... do 'accidently' summoned demons count against your total? O:)

  Bingo.
  
  Besides, if I wanted to just make her more powerful and give her more spells, that part is pretty easy in EE.
  
  (I personally find Wild Surges far more annoying than fun. As a character trait they're great (would've worked wonderfully in a book/movie), but in reality I simply find myself quickloading way too often. Apart from the game mechanic itself, I like the character and prefer her in my party.)
