Spell Dictionary           This page lists every party-accessible spell in the game. The specifics and descriptions seen here should not be taken as gospel: They are a holdover from the previous version of this Guide, and therefore can potentially be quite inaccurate. Correcting this is my #1 update priority for this site—I have simply opted to release the 3rd Edition with one imperfect page, rather than delay the whole site for the time it would take to double-check the exact mechanics of every single spell. Click any of the letters below to jump to the first spell that begins with that letter.

If they still remain trapped, the Hand does a final 4D10 damage and vanishes. While pinned, the victim may also be subjected to other attacks. Black Blade of Disaster Type: Wizard (Evocation) Level: 9 Casting Time: 9 Duration: 1 rd/lvl Saving Throw: N/A Range: 0 Target: Caster Area of Effect: Caster Description: A razor-thin planar rift, about 3 feet long, appears in front of the caster, which he then can wield as if it were a normal sword.

With each hit, victims will take 2D12 damage and be forced to Save vs. Death with a +4 bonus or be bisected—half in this plane, half in some other—and therefore Disintegrated.

The 3 spells chosen will vanish from the caster's memory as if they had been cast—they are now stored in the Chain Contingency. They will be released whenever the trigger condition is met, even after Resting. Memorizing other spells in the 3 used spell slots will not alter the stored Chain Contingency in any way, essentially giving the caster extra spell slots to be used the next day. Chain Lightning Type: Wizard (Evocation) Level: 6 Casting Time: 5 Duration: Instant Saving Throw: 1/2 Range: Sight Target: Creature Area of Effect: Special Description: Arcs of lightning shoot from the caster to the target (unlike Lightning Bolt, this spell cannot be dodged) and does 1D6 electrical damage per 2 caster levels (8D6 for a 16th-level Wizard), with a Save vs. Spells for half.

In BG1, the spell's duration is (3 rnds + 1 rnd/level), and in BG2 is (5 rnds + 1 rnd/6 levels).

If the target fails their Save vs. Spell, they regard the caster as their leader and guide, and will obey all commands given. If the caster or the caster's allies attack the Charmed creature, the spell will be broken. The Charmed creature will not attack non-hostiles or its former allies, and no Charmed creature can leave the area where it was Charmed. If your party members become Charmed, you can Charm them back with no ill effects, but non-party NPCs will resent having their minds controlled and not like you afterwards. Charm Person or Mammal Type: Priest (Druid, Enchantment) Level: 2 Casting Time: 5 Duration: 5 turns Saving Throw: Negates Range: Sight Target: Creature Area of Effect: Creature Description: This spell is identical to Charm Person, except that it also may be cast on any mammal of bear-size or smaller.

The Contingency remains active until used; that is, the spell stored in it does not need to be memorized again. Even if you Rest, or even erase that spell from your Mage Book, it will be cast on you when the Contingency is triggered.

This spell will also instantly kill all summoned creatures, even if they are immune to Acid, with the exception of angelic or demonic creatures (these last 2 types of creatures are "gated," not "summoned."

Invisibility Purge Type: Priest (Shared, Divination) Level: 3 Casting Time: 8 Duration: Instant Saving Throw: None Range: 0 Target: None Area of Effect: 30' radius from caster Description: All creatures within the caster's sight range will become visible; This spell removes their Invisibility, Imp. Invisibility, Shadow Door, Mislead, Sanctuary, etc., but will not dispel Illusion spells such as Mirror Image. Invisibility, 10' Radius Type: Wizard (Illusion) Level: 3 Casting Time: 1 round Duration: 24 hours Saving Throw: N/A Range: 0 Target: None Area of Effect: 10' radius from caster Description: This spell casts Invisibility on all creatures within 10 feet of the caster. Invisible Stalker Type: Wizard (Conjuration) Level: 6 Casting Time: 1 round Duration: 9 hours Saving Throw: N/A Range: Sight Target: Point Area of Effect: Special Description: An 8 Hit Dice Invisible Stalker will be summoned and serve the caster until slain, or until the spell duration expires. Iron Skins Type: Priest (Druid, Alteration) Level: 5 Casting Time: 1 round Duration: 12 hours Saving Throw: N/A Range: 0 Target: None Area of Effect: Caster Description: Thin sheets of iron grow up from the ground around the caster, creating a many-layered flexible skin of armor that does not hinder the Druid in any way. 1 skin for every 2 of the caster's EXP levels wil be created, and each layer will absorb one hit from a physical weapon and then disappear, meaning a 14th-level caster could be hit 7 times with ranged or melee weapons before he would start taking damage normally again. This spell does not protect the caster from elemental damage or any other possible enchantments on weapons; it only blocks the physical weapon itself. Spells that create physical weapons or projectiles, such as Phantom Blade or Flame Arrow, will have their physical component blocked by this spell. The Ironskins will last for 12 hours or until all the skins are removed in combat. A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z Khelben's Warding Whip Type: Wizard (Abjuration) Level: 7 Casting Time: 7 Duration: 3 rounds Saving Throw: None Range: Sight Target: Creature Area of Effect: Creature Description: This spell ignores the target's Magic Resistance and, for each round it remains in effect, removes one spell protection from the target. It always removes the highest-level spell (up to Level 8 spells), and if there are 2 or more spell protections of the same level, the choice is random. Knock Type: Wizard (Alteration) Level: 2 Casting Time: 1 Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: None Range: Sight Target: Special Area of Effect: 1 locked door or container Description: The Knock spell will instantly open any normal lock, whether on a door or chest. It does not open the door or container itself. Locks that cannot be opened with normal Lock Picking (if they require a special Key, for instance) are immune to Knock, as well. Know Alignment Type: Wizard (Divination), Priest (Shared, Divination) Level: 2 (Wizard), 2 (Priest) Casting Time: 1 round Duration: Instant Saving Throw: Negates Range: Sight Target: Creature Area of Effect: Creature Description: The caster is able to concentrate on the target and reveal that creature's basic Alignment: Evil creatures will briefly glow red, Neutrals blue, and Good creatures will glow green. The Lawful/Chaotic part of their Alignment is not revealed. This spell can be blocked by the target's Magic Resistance and/or Saving Throws. A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z Larloch's Minor Drain Type: Wizard (Necromancy) Level: 1 Casting Time: 1 Duration: Instant Saving Throw: None Range: Sight Target: Creature Area of Effect: Creature Description: This spell deals 1D4 damage to the target, and adds 1D4 hitpoints to the caster's own total. This spell will allow the caster to exceed his maximum number of hitpoints, but these extra HP will fade after 10 rounds (leaving the caster fully healed, at his normal maximum HP). Lesser Restoration Type: Priest (Cleric, Necromancy) Level: 4 Casting Time: 2 Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: N/A Range: Touch Target: Creature Area of Effect: Creature Description: All effects of Level Drain are removed from the recipient; he now regains all his lost EXP, plus all that he had earned since the Level Drain occurred. His maximum HP and and his spell-memorization slots will be back to their full value, but his current hitpoints will not change—this spell does not heal the target—and he will have to rest and re-memorize the spellslots he just regained. In addition, this spell is extremely taxing on the caster (even when cast from a scroll), who will immediately become Fatigued. Lightning Bolt Type: Wizard (Evocation) Level: 3 Casting Time: 3 Duration: Instant Saving Throw: 1/2 Range: Sight Target: Point Area of Effect: (roughly) Straight line 120 feet long Description: A bolt of lightning shoots from the caster's hand to the target, shooting straight through any creatures unlucky enough to be in its path, and continuing straight on. If it hits a wall or similar impediment, it will bounce off at a random direction—even back toward the caster. All creatures hit will take 1D6 electrical damage per level of the caster (up to 10D6), with a Save vs. Spells for half. Limited Wish Type: Wizard (Conjuration) Level: 7 Casting Time: 9 Duration: Special Saving Throw: Special Range: Special Target: Special Area of Effect: Special Description: A powerful Djinni appears and presents the caster with two sets of Wishes to choose from. One set contains Wishes that may be chosen once and never again, the other set may be chosen as often as the caster desires. The quality of the Wishes varies with the caster's Wisdom: The more able he is to choose a wording that the Djinni cannot misinterpret, the less likely it is that the spell will backfire. For instance, there are two Wishes: "I wish to be protected from the Undead," and "I wish to be protected from the Undead right now." If you had a high WIS, you'll only see the Wish that casts Negative Plane Protection on the whole party. If your WIS was low, you will instead be able to choose the Wish that summons a group of angry Vampires. (Also note: The one-time Wish "I wish for a powerful magical item" creates an item that imposes a -2 penalty to your speed; this is not noted in the item's Description, and for a while I was puzzled as to why I wasn't walking as fast as my other party members.) Lower Magic Resistance Type: Wizard (Abjuration, Alteration) Level: 5 Casting Time: 5 Duration: 1 round / level Saving Throw: None Range: Sight Target: Creature Area of Effect: Creature Description: This spell lowers the Magic Resistance of the target by 10%, plus an additional 1% per caster level. Multiple castings of this spell are cumulative, enabling you to reduce any creature's MR to 0%. The effect of this spell cannot be Dispelled; the target's MR remains lowered for the full duration, unless they somehow raise it again. Spell protections will block this spell, Magic Resistance and Saving Throws will not. Luck Type: Wizard (Enchantment) Level: 2 Casting Time: 2 Duration: 3 rounds Saving Throw: N/A Range: Sight Target: Creature Area of Effect: Creature Description: For the spell's duration, the recipient gains +1 bonuses to all his die rolls, including THAC0, damage, Saving Throws, and Thief skills. A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z Magic Missile Type: Wizard (Evocation) Level: 1 Casting Time: 1 Duration: Instant Saving Throw: None Range: Sight Target: Creature Area of Effect: Creature Description: This spell creates up to 5 Magic Missiles, depending on the level of the caster (1 at 1st level, 2 at 3rd level, 3 at 5th, 4 at 7th, and a maximum of 5 at 9th level), which all streak towards a single creature, each dealing 1D4+1 magic damage when they hit. Each Missile counts as a separate projectile, and will remove the appropriate number of Mirror Images or Ironskins. Magic Resistance Type: Priest (Shared, Alteration) Level: 5 Casting Time: 1 round Duration: 3 rds + 1 rd/lvl Saving Throw: None Range: Touch Target: Creature Area of Effect: Creature Description: This spell sets the recipient's Magic Resistance to 2% per caster level, with a maximum of 40% from a Level 20 Priest. This spell can actually lower your MR, so use it carefully. (And yes, you can lower enemies' Magic Resistance with it, too—this is a bug.) Magic Stone Type: Preist (Cleric, Enchantment) Level: 1 Casting Time: 4 Duration: Special Saving Throw: None Range: 0 Target: None Area of Effect: Caster Description: The Cleric creates a small enchanted stone in his Inventory, which he can then throw at an enemy. The rock does 1D4 damage and strikes as a +1 weapon, although it confers no THAC0 or Damage bonus. Mantle Type: Wizard (Abjuration) Level: 7 Casting Time: 1 Duration: 4 rounds Saving Throw: N/A Range: 0 Target: None Area of Effect: Caster Description: The caster makes himself immune to all weapons except those that stike as +3 or better. It cannot be cast while the user is already under Protection From Magic Weapons. Mass Cure Type: Priest (Shared, Necromancy) Level: 5 Casting Time: 5 Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: N/A Range: Sight Target: Point Area of Effect: 30' radius from target Description: As an Area of Effect healing spell, Mass Cure can be extremely useful. All allies of the caster within 30 feet from the spell's target will regain up to 1D8 hitpoints, plus an additional hp per level of the caster. Mass Invisibility Type: Wizard (Illusion) Level: 7 Casting Time: 7 Duration: 1 round / level Saving Throw: N/A Range: Sight Target: Point Area of Effect: 30' radius from target Description: A greatly enhanced version of Invisibility 10' Radius, this spell casts Improved Invisibility on all creatures friendly to the caster that are within the spell's area of effect. In addition, the spell's duration is longer than the original Improved Invisibility. Maze Type: Wizard (Conjuration) Level: 8 Casting Time: 3 Duration: Special Saving Throw: None Range: Touch Target: Creature Area of Effect: Creature Description: The victim of this spell is transported to an extraplanar maze—the time it takes him to find his way back depends on his Intelligence: 1-3 INT: 2D4 turns, 3-5 INT: 1D4 turns, 6-8 INT: 5D4 rounds, 9-11 INT: 4D4 rounds, 12-14 INT: 3D4 rounds, 15-17 INT: 2D4 rounds, 18-25 INT: 1D4 rounds. Casting Dispel Magic on the spot from which a creature was Mazed will not bring them back before their time is up, but casting Freedom will. Note that if you are playing a Solo game, being Mazed will instantly kill you. Melf's Acid Arrow Type: Wizard (Conjuration) Level: 2 Casting Time: 2 Duration: Special Saving Throw: None Range: Sight Target: Creature Area of Effect: Creature Description: A bolt of acid shoots from the caster to the target, dealing 2D4 acid damage when it hits. For every 3 caster levels, the acid lasts an additional round, dealing another 2D4 damage per round. Melf's Minute Meteors Type: Wizard (Alteration, Evocation) Level: 3 Casting Time: 3 Duration: Special Saving Throw: None Range: 0 Target: None Area of Effect: Special Description: The caster creates 1 Meteor for every experience level in his Inventory, and can throw them at enemies at the rate of 5 attacks per round. The Meteors strike as +5 weapons, confer a -5 THAC0 bonus, and deal 1D4+3 damage per hit, +3 fire damage. Note: The Meteors are heavy. If you didn't put many points into STR, you may find yourself too encumbered to move—until you throw a few Meteors away. Mental Domination Type: Priest (Cleric, Enchantment) Level: 4 Casting Time: 4 Duration: 3 rounds / level Saving Throw: Negates Range: Sight Target: Creature Area of Effect: Creature Description: The victim must Save vs. Spells with a +2 penalty or become completely enslaved by the caster's will. The Priest is able to command the victim to do anything, although he must keep the creature within his sight range to do so. Meteor Swarm Type: Wizard (Evocation) Level: 9 Casting Time: 9 Duration: 4 rounds Saving Throw: None Range: Sight Target: Point Area of Effect: 20' radius from target Description: Streams of molten lava rain down upon the area chosen to simulate Hell. All creatures within the hail of liquid rock will take 4D10 fire damage per round. Minor Globe of Invulnerability Type: Wizard (Abjuration) Level: 4 Casting Time: 4 Duration: 1 round / level Saving Throw: N/A Range: 0 Target: None Area of Effect: Caster Description: This spell envelops the caster within a magical sphere that prevents 1st, 2nd, and 3rd-level spells from entering. Spells of all levels may pass through the sphere from the inside out. The Globe can be cancelled with a sucessful Dispel or Remove Magic. Minor Sequencer Type: Wizard (Evocation) Level: 4 Casting Time: 1 round Duration: Special Saving Throw: N/A Range: 0 Target: None Area of Effect: Caster Description: Upon casting this spell, the caster will be prompted to choose 2 of his memorized spells from Levels 1 & 2. These spells are then wiped from their memorization slots, because they have been cast—into the Sequencer, which now appears as one of the caster's Special Abilities, where it will remain until used. For instance, a Level 13 Mage could cast 2 Magic Missiles into the Sequencer, and then Rest. The next day, he could cast Magic Missile 5 times—and then another 2 times (simultaneously) by firing the Sequencer at someone. The caster may only have 1 Minor Sequencer at a time. As with all spells of this type, Priest spells can also be loaded into the Minor Sequencer (if the caster is a Cleric/Mage). Minor Spell Deflection Type: Wizard (Abjuration) Level: 3 Casting Time: 3 Duration: 3 rounds / level Saving Throw: N/A Range: 0 Target: None Area of Effect: Caster Description: Minor Spell Deflection is a shield that absorbs spells meant for the user and nullifies them. It will negate 4 spell levels; either 4 Magic Missiles, or a Fireball and a Spook, or 2 Rays of Enfeeblement, etc. It can only absorb spells from Levels 1-7, and the spell must be targeted directly as the caster. As long as there is at least 1 level of the Minor Spell Deflection remaining, the offensive spell will be nullified. It will not block area of effect spells, including Dispel Magic (if the caster is hit by a Dispel, the Spell Deflection will not protect him from it, but the Spell Deflection itself cannot be dispelled.) Minor Spell Turning Type: Wizard (Abjuration) Level: 5 Casting Time: 5 Duration: 3 rounds / level Saving Throw: N/A Range: 0 Target: None Area of Effect: Caster Description: This spell is very similar to Minor Spell Deflection, except that instead of absorbing the spell, it throws it back at the enemy caster. It can reflect a total of 4 spell levels, though it has no effect on spells of Level 5 or higher. This spell also behaves in the same way as Minor Spell Deflection against Dispel Magic. Mirror Image Type: Wizard (Illusion) Level: 2 Casting Time: 2 Duration: 3 rounds / level Saving Throw: N/A Range: 0 Target: None Area of Effect: Caster Description: Depending on the caster's level, 2D4 illusionary clones of the caster will appear around him. As enemies cannot tell which is the real person and which are fake, each attack aimed at the caster has an equal chance to hit one of the copies instead. For example, a caster protected by 4 images has only a 20% chance that the next attack will be aimed at him (and even if it is aimed at him, it still might miss). If an illusion is hit by an attack, its validity is destroyed and the image vanishes. The other copies continue to shield the caster until they, too, are struck. Miscast Magic Type: Priest (Shared, Enchantment) Level: 3 Casting Time: 5 Duration: 1 turn Saving Throw: Negates Range: Sight Target: Creature Area of Effect: Creature Description: Any spellcaster must Save vs. Spells with a +2 penalty, or suffer 80% chance of Spell Failure for the duration of the spell. Mislead Type: Wizard (Illusion) Level: 6 Casting Time: 1 Duration: 1 round / level Saving Throw: N/A Range: 0 Target: None Area of Effect: Caster Description: A common means of defense used by Wizards, the Mislead spell creates an illusionary duplicate of the caster to take the caster's place, while the caster himself is put under Improved Invisibility and moved a short distance away. The duplicate will mimic the caster's actions and act as a decoy, until it is killed (it starts with the same HP the caster had when the spell was cast), dispelled, or erased by a True Sight. Monster Summoning I Type: Wizard (Conjuration) Level: 3 Casting Time: 4 Duration: 3 rds + 1 rd/lvl Saving Throw: N/A Range: Sight Target: Point Area of Effect: Special Description: 8 Hit Dice of monsters will appear and obey the commands of the caster until they are slain or the spell expires. Monster Summoning II Type: Wizard (Conjuration) Level: 4 Casting Time: 4 Duration: 3 rds + 1 rd/lvl Saving Throw: N/A Range: Sight Target: Point Area of Effect: Special Description: Exactly like Monster Summoning I, except that 12 HD of monsters are summoned. Monster Summoning III Type: Wizard (Conjuration) Level: 5 Casting Time: 5 Duration: 4 rds + 1 rd/lvl Saving Throw: N/A Range: Sight Target: Point Area of Effect: Special Description: 16 Hit Dice of monster allies. Mordenkainen's Sword Type: Wizard (Evocation) Level: 7 Casting Time: 7 Duration: 1 round / level Saving Throw: N/A Range: Sight Target: Point Area of Effect: Special Description: A +4 enchanted sword comes into being, and will attack enemies under the mental control of the caster. It has the THAC0 of a Fighter half the caster's level, and does 5D4 damage per hit. A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z Nahal's Reckless Dweomer Type: Wizard (Evocation) Level: 1 Casting Time: 5 Duration: Special Saving Throw: Special Range: Special Target: Special Area of Effect: Special Description: A Wild Mage's most volatile spell, Nahal's Reckless Dweomer allows the caster to choose any of his known spells—even if he does not have that spell memorized in a spellslot—and attempt to cast it. A Wild Surge results, with a small chance that the spell will be cast as normal. Nature's Beauty Type: Priest (Druid, Illusion) Level: 7 Casting Time: 6 Duration: Instant Saving Throw: Special Range: 5 feet Target: None Area of Effect: 5' radius from caster Description: The caster is momentarily transformed into a nymph of such incredible beauty that all enemies within melee range are instantly smitten. If they fail to Save vs. Spell with a -3 bonus, they will die of heartbreak when the lovely creature vanishes. Even if they make their Save, they will still be struck blind. Negative Plane Protection Type: Priest (Shared, Abjuration) Level: 4 Casting Time: 3 Duration: 5 rounds Saving Throw: N/A Range: Touch Target: Creature Area of Effect: Creature Description: The Priest opens up a link between the Positive Energy Plane and the spell's recipient, shielding them from the harmful touch of the Negative Energy Plane. The recipient will be immune to Level Drain for the spell's duration. Neutralize Poison Type: Priest (Shared, Necromancy) Level: 4 Casting Time: 1 Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: N/A Range: Touch Target: Creature Area of Effect: Creature Description: All toxins are instantly wiped from the body, and the creature is healed by 8 hitpoints. Like all healing spells, it has no effect on extraplanar creatures (such as Djinni), creatures without solid bodies (Nishruu), or those not living (Undead). Certain types of magical poisons are beyond this spell's power to cure. Non-Detection Type: Wizard (Abjuration) Level: 3 Casting Time: 3 Duration: 20 turns Saving Throw: N/A Range: Sight Target: Creature Area of Effect: Creature Description: The target of this spell is immune to such spells as Detect Invisibility, but not more powerful Divination spells like Detect Illusion, Oracle, and True Sight. The spell itself, therefore, is not very useful, but an item that grants Non-Detection while used may be thought of as granting infinite layers of Non-Detection; even the most powerful Divination spells will only dispel the top layer, and the creature will still remain hidden by magical means (Non-Detection does NOT turn you invisible). A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z Oracle Type: Wizard (Divination) Level: 5 Casting Time: 5 Duration: Instant Saving Throw: None Range: Sight Target: Point Area of Effect: 20' radius from target Description: This spell removes the Illusionary spells of Reflected Image, Mirror Image, Non-Detection, Invisibility, Improved Invisibility, and Shadow Door. Oracle ignores Magic Resistance, and there is no Saving Throw. All creatures, not just enemies, in the area of effect will have their Illusions stripped. Otiluke's Resilient Sphere Type: Wizard (Alteration) Level: 4 Casting Time: 1 Duration: 1 round / level Saving Throw: Negates Range: Touch Target: Creature Area of Effect: Creature Description: If the single target of this spell fails their Save vs. Spell, they become encased in a swirling globe of magical force that follows them as they move. The Sphere will completely nullify all magic spells and physical attacks, whether they are directed inward or outward. The only way to bring down the Sphere (short of waiting for its duration to expire) is to Dispel it. A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z Phantom Blade Type: Wizard (Evocation) Level: 5 Casting Time: 5 Duration: 3 rds + 1 rd/lvl Saving Throw: N/A Range: 0 Target: None Area of Effect: Caster Description: A blade-shaped line of magical power appears in the caster's hand, where it remains for the spell's duration. It acts as a +3 Long Sword and is wielded at the caster's normal THAC0, with no penalty for nonproficiency, and does an extra 10 damage per hit against Undead. Physical Mirror Type: Priest (Shared, Alteration) Level: 6 Casting Time: 6 Duration: 9 rounds Saving Throw: N/A Range: 0 Target: None Area of Effect: Caster Description: A strong instrument of poetic justice, Physical Mirror surrounds the caster with a folded-portal effect that recieves incoming ranged weapons such as arrows or throwing axes, and sends them directly back at the attacker. The caster, meanwhile, is free to fire his own projectiles normally. The Mirror is no barrier against harmful spells, however. Pierce Magic Type: Wizard (Abjuration) Level: 6 Casting Time: 6 Duration: Instant Saving Throw: None Range: Sight Target: Creature Area of Effect: Creature Description: A powerful anti-spell-protection spell, Pierce Magic lowers the target's Magic Resistance by 1% per caster level (it remains lowered for 1 round per caster level), and then removes one Spell Protection of Level 6 or lower (Spell Deflection, Minor Spell Turning, Spell Immunity, Globe of Invulnerability, etc). It ignores the target's MR and existing Spell Protections. Pierce Shield Type: Wizard (Abjuration) Level: 8 Casting Time: 8 Duration: Instant Saving Throw: None Range: Sight Target: Creature Area of Effect: Creature Description: A more potent version of Pierce Magic, Pierce Shield lowers the target's Magic Resistance by 10% + 1% per caster level, and then negates 1 Spell Protection of any level. It bypasses the target's Magic Resistance & Spell Protections. Pixie Dust Type: Priest (Druid, Illusion) Level: 5 Casting Time: 1 round Duration: 24 hours Saving Throw: N/A Range: 0 Target: None Area of Effect: 10' radius from caster Description: Exactly the same as Invisibility 10' Radius. Poison Type: Priest (Shared, Necromancy) Level: 4 Casting Time: 4 Duration: 1 turn Saving Throw: Negates Range: 15 feet Target: Creature Area of Effect: Creature Description: The creature targeted by this spell must Save vs. Death or have their system flooded with a magical poison. The severity of the poison varies with the caster's level: Levels 7-9: 2D8, + 2/rd, Levels 10-12: 3D8, + 3/rd, Levels 13-14: 4D8, + 4/rd, Levels 15-16: 6D8, + 5/rd, and Level 17+: 8D8, + 6/rd. Polymorph Other Type: Wizard (Alteration) Level: 4 Casting Time: 4 Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: Negates Range: Sight Target: Creature Area of Effect: Creature Description: The target of this spell is allowed a Save vs. Polymorph to try to avoid its effects. If they fail their Save, they will be transformed into a squirrel: Their mental abilities will be unchanged, but they will have the STR, DEX, and CON of a squirrel, as well as being limited to the squirrel's physical attacks, although some of the creature's Special Abilities may carry over to the new form. The creature's armor and items (if any) will mold into the new form. The effects of the spell may be canceled with a Dispel Magic, or by killing the Polymorphed creature. Polymorph Self Type: Wizard (Alteration) Level: 4 Casting Time: 4 Duration: 1 tn + 1 rd/lvl Saving Throw: N/A Range: 0 Target: None Area of Effect: Caster Description: Upon using this spell, the caster is presented with an array of forms, including Gnoll, Ogre, Spider, Wolf, Black Bear, Brown Bear, and Mustard Jelly, into any of which he may transform himself. This change is only physical in nature: The caster's mind and mental attributes are not affected, although he will not be able to cast spells if the form he chooses lacks spellcasting abilities. Power Word: Blind Type: Wizard (Conjuration) Level: 8 Casting Time: 1 Duration: 6 rounds Saving Throw: None Range: Sight Target: Creature Area of Effect: 10' radius from target Description: The target of this spell, and all creatures within 10 feet of it (whether friend or foe), will be Blinded for 6 rounds, with no Saving Throw. Power Word: Kill Type: Wizard (Conjuration) Level: 8 Casting Time: 1 Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: None Range: Sight Target: Creature Area of Effect: Creature Description: The grisly specter of Death awaits those targeted by this spell; if they have less than 61 hitpoints at the moment this spell reaches them, they will die instantly. Power Word: Silence Type: Wizard (Conjuration) Level: 6 Casting Time: 1 Duration: 3 rounds Saving Throw: None Range: Sight Target: Creature Area of Effect: Creature Description: The caster selects a creature to smack with his shut-up stick; the chosen creature is unable to make any sounds (including almost all spellcasting) for the duration of the spell. Power Word: Sleep Type: Wizard (Conjuration) Level: 2 Casting Time: 1 Duration: 5 rounds Saving Throw: None Range: Sight Target: Creature Area of Effect: Creature Description: The target of this spell gets no saving throw: They must fall asleep for 5 rounds, unless they currently have more than 20 hitpoints, or are immune to Sleep (Undead creatures do not sleep). Power Word: Stun Type: Wizard (Conjuration) Level: 7 Casting Time: 1 Duration: Special Saving Throw: None Range: Sight Target: Creature Area of Effect: Creature Description: This powerful spell can be used to render even the mightiest of creatures helpless for a short time: Targets who currently have more than 89 hitpoints suffer no effect from this spell, but: 60-89 hp: Stunned for 1D4 rounds, 30-59 hp: Stunned for 2D4 rounds, and 1-29 hp: Stunned for 4D4 rounds. Prismatic Spray Type: Wizard (Conjuration/Summoning) Level: 7 Casting Time: 7 Duration: Special Saving Throw: Special Range: Sight Target: Point Area of Effect: 30' long cone Description: Seven powerful rays of light shoot from the caster's hand to the edge of his sight radius; These light rays will pass straight through all creatures within the area of effect, with each colored ray inflicting the following effects: Red: 20 hp of magic damage, Save vs. Spell for 1/2. Orange: 40 hp of magic damage, Save vs. Spells for 1/2. Yellow: 80 hp of magic damage, Save vs. Spells for 1/2.

Violet: Save vs. Spells or be Disintegrated. In addition, any enemy of 7th level or lower (7 Hit Dice) caught in the flash of light will be Blinded for 5 rounds, with no Save. Project Image Type: Wizard (Illusion) Level: 7 Casting Time: 1 Duration: 1 round / level Saving Throw: N/A Range: Special Target: None Area of Effect: Special Description: Usually considered the most munchkin spell in the game, Project Image is the gateway to opening up a whole new level of horror for your enemies. The spell creates an Illusionary copy of the caster that will remain until Dispelled, revealed as an illusion, destroyed in combat (it has the same AC and hp as the caster), the spell's duration expires, or the caster takes any damage. While the Projected Image remains, the caster cannot move, attack, or cast spells: His mind is fully occupied with controlling the Image. The Image itself can walk around, and though it cannot make any physical attacks, it can cast exactly the same spells that the caster had memorized, without those spells being wiped from the original caster's memorization slots. Protection from Acid Type: Wizard (Abjuration) Level: 5 Casting Time: 6 Duration: 1 turn / level Saving Throw: N/A Range: Touch Target: Creature Area of Effect: Creature Description: The recipient of this spell becomes immune to all forms of Acid attacks for the spell's duration, or until Dispelled.

Protection from Lightning Type: Priest (Shared, Abjuration) Level: 4 Casting Time: 7 Duration: 5 rounds / level Saving Throw: N/A Range: Touch Target: Creature Area of Effect: Creature Description: 100% resistance to all forms of electrical damage. Protection from Magic Energy Type: Wizard (Abjuration) Level: 6 Casting Time: 6 Duration: 1 turn / level Saving Throw: N/A Range: Touch Target: Creature Area of Effect: Creature Description: For the spell's duration or until dispelled, the creature touched is granted 50% Resistance to Magic Damage, effectively halving the damage caused by such spells as Magic Missile, Skull Trap, and Abi-Dalzim's Horrid Wilting. Protection from Magic Weapons Type: Wizard (Abjuration) Level: 6 Casting Time: 1 Duration: 4 rounds Saving Throw: N/A Range: 0 Target: None Area of Effect: Caster Description: This very useful spell will only affect the caster; for 4 rounds, he becomes completely immune to all physical weapons that have an enchantment of +1 or better—such weapons cannot even touch him. This spell cannot be cast on any creature that is already shielded against Normal Weapons by means of a spell, but creatures that are naturally immune to Normal Weapons may use this spell, creating quite a problem for an enemy Fighter. Protection from Normal Missiles Type: Wizard (Abjuration) Level: 3 Casting Time: 3 Duration: 1 turn / level Saving Throw: N/A Range: Touch Target: Creature Area of Effect: Creature Description: The recipient of this spell is enclosed within a glowing blue cylinder that prevents all non-enchanted missile weapons (arrows, bolts, bullets, darts) from entering. The spell does not protect its recipient from enchanted missiles, such as Bullets+1, Arrows of Fire, Bolts of Biting, etc., nor does it shield against missiles created by spells, such as Melf's Acid Arrow. A creature under this spell may still fire missile weapons normally. Protection from Normal Weapons Type: Wizard (Abjuration) Level: 5 Casting Time: 2 Duration: 1 round / level Saving Throw: N/A Range: Touch Target: Creature Area of Effect: Creature Description: The recipient of this spell becomes completely immune to all types of non-enchanted weapons; such weapons will have literally no effect. This spell cannot be cast on someone who is already Protected from Magic Weapons. Protection from Petrification Type: Wizard (Abjuration) Level: 1 Casting Time: 1 Duration: 3 rounds / level Saving Throw: N/A Range: Touch Target: Creature Area of Effect: Creature Description: The creature touched will become immune to all petrification attacks, from the lethal gaze attack of the Basilisk to the spell Flesh to Stone. Protection from the Elements Type: Wizard (Abjuration) Level: 7 Casting Time: 7 Duration: 1 round / level Saving Throw: N/A Range: Touch Target: Creature Area of Effect: Creature Description: Exactly like Protection from Energy, except that it grants 75% Resistance to elemental damage only, not to Magic Damage. A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z Raise Dead Type: Priest (Cleric, Necromancy) Level: 5 Casting Time: 1 round Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: N/A Range: Sight Target: Special Area of Effect: Creature Description: This spell will restore a dead party member to life: The spell is cast on the portrait of the deceased party member, and their body will appear, once again upright and animate. They will have only 1 hitpoint, however—Raise Dead only restores the person to life, it confers no healing benefits. The Raised character will also have to put all their equipment back on. Note that if you boot a Dead character from the party, their portrait vanishes—meaning you will not be able to bring them back to life, ever. The only way to cast this spell in BG1/ToSC is by removing the EXP cap, although you can purchase the service of Raise Dead at any Temple. Ray of Enfeeblement Type: Wizard (Enchantment / Charm) Level: 2 Casting Time: 2 Duration: 1 round / level Saving Throw: Negates Range: Sight Target: Creature Area of Effect: Creature Description: The creature targeted must Save vs. Spell or have its natural Strength reduced to 5, which can seriously reduce its skill in melee combat and its Weight Allowance, even to the point that it becomes too Encumbered to move. Note: If the creature has its Strength enhanced by some spell or item, that bonus will not be negated by this spell. Reflected Image Type: Wizard (Illusion) Level: 1 Casting Time: 1 Duration: 3 rnds + 1 rd/lvl Saving Throw: N/A Range: 0 Target: None Area of Effect: Caster Description: A weaker version of Mirror Image, Reflected Image creates a single Illusionary copy of the caster that moves about with him and mimics his actions. If the caster is attacked, there is a 50/50 chance that the blow will be aimed at the illusion instead, destrying the copy but saving the real caster from being hit. Otherwise, the image will remain until dispelled, revealed as an illusion, or the spell expires. Remove Curse Type: Wizard (Abjuration), Priest (Cleric, Abjuration) Level: 4 (Wizard), 3 (Priest) Casting Time: 6 Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: N/A Range: Touch Target: Creature Area of Effect: Creature Description: When cast on a character who is wearing a Cursed item, this spell causes a momentary clearness of mind that enables the person to see the item for what it is, and remove it. Note that this is the only effect of this spell: It will not change the item itself in any way. The Wizard version of this spell first becomes available in ToSC. Remove Fear Type: Priest (Abjuration) Level: 1 Casting Time: 1 Duration: 2 turns Saving Throw: N/A Range: Sight Target: Point Area of Effect: 20' radius from target Description: All creatures affected by this spell will have their morale set to its highest, negating the effects of any Fear they may be experiencing. This will also shield them from further attacks of panic, such as that caused by a Horror spell. In BG2, this spell is no longer available to Druids. Remove Magic Type: Wizard (Abjuration) Level: 1 Casting Time: 3 Duration: Instant Saving Throw: None Range: Sight Target: Point Area of Effect: 20' radius from target Description: Exactly like Dispel Magic, except that the caster and his allies are immune to its effects—Remove Magic can only nullify the spells that are currently affecting creatures hostile to the party. Remove Paralysis Type: Priest (Cleric, Abjuration) Level: 3 Casting Time: 6 Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: N/A Range: Sight Target: Creature Area of Effect: Creature Description: This spell enables the Cleric to restore freedom of movement to a creature under the effects of paralyzing magic, such as a Hold spell. It will not free creatures whose immobility is mental in nature, which is the case with Feeblemind. Repulse Undead Type: Priest (Cleric, Abjuration) Level: 5 Casting Time: 5 Duration: 1 turn Saving Throw: None Range: 0 Target: None Area of Effect: Caster Description: Something like Turn Undead encapsulated into spell form, this spell produces powerful waves of anti-Undead energy, which radiate outward from the caster. Although not powerful enough to make Undead creatures die on the spot, as Turn Undead can, the spell of Repulse Undead does not block combat or further spellcasting, and all Undead creatures in the area must flee from the caster as fast as they can while this spell remains in effect. Resist Fear Type: Wizard (Abjuration) Level: 2 Casting Time: 1 Duration: 2 turns Saving Throw: N/A Range: Sight Target: Point Area of Effect: 20' radius from target Description: All creatures in the area of effect will have their morale set to its highest (it gradually resets to normal over time), and for the duration of the spell, are immune to magically-based Fear attacks, such as Symbol: Fear. Resist Fire / Cold Type: Priest (Shared, Alteration) Level: 2 Casting Time: 5 Duration: 1 round / level Saving Throw: N/A Range: Touch Target: Creature Area of Effect: Creature Description: The recipient of this spell becomes partially immune to extremes of temperature; they gain 50% resistance to both fire and cold, whether of normal or magical origin. Resurrection Type: Priest (Cleric, Necromancy) Level: 7 Casting Time: 1 turn Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: N/A Range: Touch Target: Special Area of Effect: Creature Description: A greatly enhanced version of Raise Dead, and the most potent healing spell there is, Resurrection first Raises the targeted character from the dead, then removes any Level Drain from them, and casts Heal on them for good measure. This spell will not Fatigue the caster. Righteous Magic Type: Priest (Cleric, Alteration) Level: 5 Casting Time: 1 round Duration: 1 round / level Saving Throw: N/A Range: 0 Target: None Area of Effect: Caster Description: A very useful combat spell, Righteous Magic grants the caster 1 bonus point of STR for every 3 caster levels, inflicts the maximum damage with each hit, and gives the caster 1 extra hitpoint per level, for the spell's duration. Rigid Thinking Type: Priest (Cleric, Enchantment) Level: 3 Casting Time: 5 Duration: 1 round / level Saving Throw: Negates Range: Sight Target: Creature Area of Effect: Creature Description: Essentially, a single-target Confusion spell that Priests can use. If the targeted creature fails to Save vs. Spell, each round they remain under the enchantment they will randomly choose between either wandering aimlessly about, standing still going, "Duhhhhh," or attacking some random creature. In BG2, this spell can be cast by Druids as well. Note that drinking a Potion of Mind Focusing will also put the "Rigid Thinking" icon in your portrait, but it will not cause you to become Confused—it would be more likely to make you resistant to Confusion. Ruby Ray of Reversal Type: Wizard (Alteration) Level: 7 Casting Time: 5 Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: None Range: Sight Target: Creature Area of Effect: Creature Description: Ruby Ray will ignore the target's Magic Resistance and spell protections to cancel and dispel 1 spell protection from the target creature. It will dispel the highest-level (any level) spell protecting the creature—in the event of a tie, the choice is random. A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z Sanctuary Type: Priest (Cleric, Abjuration) Level: 1 Casting Time: 4 Duration: 10 rounds Saving Throw: N/A Range: 0 Target: None Area of Effect: Caster Description: The Cleric becomes invisible for the duration of the spell, unless he deliberately breaks the protection by either attacking an enemy, casting an offensive (red icon) spell, or targeting a spell on another creature. Secret Word Type: Wizard (Abjuration) Level: 4 Casting Time: 4 Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: None Range: Sight Target: Creature Area of Effect: Creature Description: A handy little anti-Protection spell, Secret Word will nullify one spell protection of up to 8th level. Saving Throws, Magic Resistance and spell protections are all ignored. Shadow Door Type: Wizard (Illusion) Level: 5 Casting Time: 2 Duration: 1 round / level Saving Throw: None Range: 0 Target: None Area of Effect: Caster Description: This spell is very similar to Improved Invisibility, in that the caster becomes invisible, and can then attack or cast spells, and still remain mostly invisible. It has the advantages, however, of a longer duration, and not requiring speech to cast, and so can be used even when Silenced. Shapechange Type: Wizard (Alteration) Level: 9 Casting Time: 9 Duration: 5 turns Saving Throw: N/A Range: 0 Target: None Area of Effect: Caster Description: For the spell's duration, the caster is able to shift between the forms of several powerful creatures: Earth Elemental, Fire Elemental, Giant Troll, Greater Wolfwere, Iron Golem, and Mind Flayer, as many times as he wishes. The caster gains all of the creature's natural abilities, resistances, and attacks, including the Iron Golem's physical, elemental, and magic resistance, and the Mind Flayer's ability to cause INT drain by using its melee attacks to rip enemies' brains right out of their skulls. Shield Type: Wizard (Evocation) Level: 1 Casting Time: 1 Duration: 5 turns Saving Throw: N/A Range: 0 Target: None Area of Effect: Caster Description: This spell creates a force field around the caster, setting his AC to 4 against melee attacks, and to 2 against missile weapons. In BG2, it also makes the caster immune to Magic Missile. Shield of the Archons Type: Priest (Shared, Abjuration) Level: 7 Casting Time: 9 Duration: 3 rounds / level Saving Throw: N/A Range: 0 Target: None Area of Effect: Caster Description: Similar to the Wizard's Spell Trap, Shield of the Archons will absorb and negate spells aimed at the caster. The total number of spell levels that can be nullified is equal to half the caster's level. Shillelagh Type: Priest (Shared, Alteration) Level: 1 Casting Time: 2 Duration: 4 rnds + 1 rd/lvl Saving Throw: N/A Range: 0 Target: None Area of Effect: Caster Description: The priest creates a Club that carries a -1 THAC0 bonus, although the Club does not strike as an enchanted weapon in terms of what it can hit. As with almost all magical weapons created from spells, it cannot be removed from the caster's hand until it vanished with the expiration of the spell. Shocking Grasp Type: Wizard (Alteration) Level: 1 Casting Time: 1 Duration: Special Saving Throw: None Range: 0 Target: None Area of Effect: Caster Description: This spell turns the caster's hand into a melee weapon that has one charge, and will deal 1D10 electrical damage to the victim. Since the merest touch is sufficient to discharge the shock, the caster cannot miss his melee attack. Silence 15' Radius Type: Priest (Cleric, Alteration) Level: 2 Casting Time: 5 Duration: 2 rounds / level Saving Throw: Negates Range: Sight Target: Point Area of Effect: 15' radius from target Description: At the moment this spell reaches its target, all creatures in the area of effect must Save vs. Spell or be rendered incapable of making any sound—the primary result of which is the inability to cast almost any spells. Simulacrum Type: Wizard (Illusion) Level: 8 Casting Time: 9 Duration: 1 round / level Saving Throw: N/A Range: 0 Target: None Area of Effect: Special Description: This spell is similar to its 7th-level variant, Project Image, in that it creates an Illusionary copy of the caster that can cast its own spells, and carries the exact same weapons, armor, Quick Items, etc. Unlike Project Image, though, the phantasm created by Simulacrum is not an exact copy of the caster—it is at 60% of the caster's level, and has the hitpoints and spell capabilities that the caster had at that level. Also, even though it is an illusion, it can still make melee attacks and do damage, and the original caster is not frozen in place—the wizard and his clone can fight and cast spells simultaneously. Skull Trap Type: Wizard (Necromancy) Level: 3 Casting Time: 3 Duration: 8 hours Saving Throw: None Range: 20 feet Target: Point Area of Effect: 10' radius from target Description: The caster throws a skull to the target area, where it hovers until the spell expires or a creature comes within 10 feet of it, causing it to explode, dealing 1D6 points of damage per caster level to all creatures within the blast radius. Note that its range is shorter than many other spells, which can cause problems if you cast Skull Trap into a Spell Trigger or similar Contingency spells: You can stand 30 feet away from your target and fire your Spell Trigger at them—the Spell Trigger will funtion perfectly at that distance, but the Skull Traps within it will get a Spell Failure, because you exceeded their maximum range. Note that you are not required to have a Skull in your Inventory to cast Skull Trap. Slay Living Type: Priest (Cleric, Necromancy) Level: 5 Casting Time: 1 Duration: 3 rounds Saving Throw: Special Range: Touch Target: None Area of Effect: Caster Description: After casting this touch-damage spell, the Cleric has 3 rounds to score a successful melee hit; if he swing and misses, the spell is wasted. If his hit connects, the victim must Save vs. Spells or die instantly—even if he makes his Save, he still takes 2D6+9 damage. Sleep Type: Wizard (Enchantment) Level: 1 Casting Time: 1 Duration: 5 rounds / level Saving Throw: Negates Range: Sight Target: Point Area of Effect: 20' radius from target Description: All creatures caught within the area of effect when this spell fires must Save vs. Death with a +3 penalty, or fall asleep for the spell's duration. Creatures that do not sleep, including all Undead, are immune to this spell, as are creatures above Level 4. Slow Type: Wizard (Alteration) Level: 3 Casting Time: 3 Duration: 1 turn Saving Throw: Negates Range: Sight Target: Point Area of Effect: 20' radius from target Description: All creatures within the area of effect at the moment this spell is cast must Save vs. Spells with a +4 penalty, or have their movement and attack rates cut in half for the duration, and also recieve +4 penalties to their AC and THAC0. This spell will negate Haste. Slow Poison Type: Priest (Shared, Necromancy) Level: 2 Casting Time: 1 Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: N/A Range: Touch Target: Creature Area of Effect: Creature Description: When cast upon a creature that has been Poisoned, this spell will slow the progress of the venom down to a standstill, so that the poison's duration will likely expire before it can cause any further hitpoint loss. Certain extremely fast-acting poisons, however, may still do damage to their victims. Sol's Searing Orb Type: Priest (Cleric, Evocation) Level: 6 Casting Time: 6 Duration: Instant Saving Throw: Special Range: Sight Target: Creature Area of Effect: Creature Description: The Cleric creates a small stone which glows and burns with the heat of the sun itself—he must quickly rid himself of it by throwing or slinging it at an enemy. He gains a +3 bonus to his normal THAC0 during this attack, and the Orb itself strikes as a +5 weapon. If it hits, it will inflict 6D6 hitpoints of fire damage and Blind the enemy for 1D6 rounds, with a Save vs. Spell for half damage and to avoid blindness. If the victim is Undead, the Orb will cause 12D6 fire damage and cause Blindess for 12 rounds, with a Save for 9D6 damage and Blindness for 6 rounds. Spell Deflection Type: Wizard (Abjuration) Level: 6 Casting Time: 6 Duration: 3 rounds / level Saving Throw: N/A Range: 0 Target: None Area of Effect: Caster Description: This spell erects a protective sphere around the caster that will absorb and nullify spells targeted directly at the caster—it will deflect a total of 10 spell levels; such as 5 Melf's Acid Arrows or 2 Feebleminds. It will also protect against 2 Power Word: Kills—when the first PW:K is cast, it will cancel 9 of the 10 levels of the Spell Deflection, leaving a single level which is capable of stopping any other targeted spell, including another PW:K. Spell Immunity Type: Wizard (Abjuration) Level: 5 Casting Time: 5 Duration: 3 rnds + 1 rd/lvl Saving Throw: N/A Range: 0 Target: None Area of Effect: Caster Description: After casting this spell, the caster is allowed to choose which of the 8 Schools of magic he wishes to be immune to. Once he makes his choice, he cannot be affected by ANY spells from that School for the duration of the Spell Immunity, unless his protection is Dispelled—which cannot be done if he chooses to be immune to Abjuration spells. Note that beneficial spells are blocked as well—if you chose Spell Immunity (Necromancy), you're shielded from Abi-Dalzim's Horrid Wilting—and from all of the Healing spells that your Priest is trying to cast on you. (Now you know why I describe all of the Priest spells as being part of Wizard Schools.) Even the 9th-level Spellstrike can be blocked by Spell Immunity. Spell Sequencer Type: Wizard (Evocation) Level: 7 Casting Time: 1 round Duration: Special Saving Throw: N/A Range: 0 Target: None Area of Effect: Caster Description: Upon casting this spell, the wizard is presented with a menu showing all of his currently memorized spells from Levels 1 through 4. The wizard may choose 3 of those spells to be cast into the Sequencer, which then appears as one of the caster's Special Abilities. The Sequencer will remain there until used, even after Resting, which effectively grants the caster extra spells: He can cast 3 Fireballs into his Spell Sequencer, Rest (memorizing new Level 3 spells), and then the next day, can cast all of his memorized Level 3 spells—and then use his Special Ability and fire off 3 Fireballs simultaneously. Spell Shield Type: Wizard (Abjuration) Level: 5 Casting Time: 8 Duration: Instant Saving Throw: N/A Range: 0 Target: None Area of Effect: Caster Description: The Spell Shield will absorb one Anti-Protection spell (Breach, Spell Thrust, Secret Word, Lower Resistance, Pierce Magic, Ruby Ray of Reversal, Khelben's Warding Whip, Pierce Shield, & Spellstrike) aimed at the caster, and then disappear. Note that if an Anti-Protection spell says it dispels Spell Shield, both descriptions are correct—the two spells cancel each other out, meaning they both did their jobs. Spell Thrust Type: Wizard (Abjuration) Level: 3 Casting Time: 3 Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: None Range: Sight Target: Creature Area of Effect: Creature Description: Spell Thrust will tear down all spell protections of Level 5 or lower from the target. Spell Trigger Type: Wizard (Evocation) Level: 8 Casting Time: 1 round Duration: Special Saving Throw: N/A Range: 0 Target: None Area of Effect: Caster Description: Spell Trigger is part of the Spell-Storage family of magic, from Minor Sequencer all the way up to Chain Contingency. Spell Trigger is exactly like Spell Sequencer, except that it can store 3 spells, which can be as high as Level 6. Note that, in the case of Cleric/Mages, Priest spells can be placed in Spell-Storage just as effectively as Wizard spells. Spell Trap Type: Wizard (Abjuration) Level: 9 Casting Time: 9 Duration: 1 round / level Saving Throw: N/A Range: 0 Target: None Area of Effect: Caster Description: Spell Trap is the most powerful member of the Spell Deflection/Turning family. It will absorb the power of 30 spell levels targeted directly at the caster, but instead of simply letting the energy dissipate (as Spell Deflection does), or firing the spell back at the enemy (like Spell Turning), Spell Trap funnels the energy inward toward the caster, enabling him to recall to memory spells that he has already cast that day. Each spell level absorbed will refresh one of the caster's spell levels—a Level 7 Finger of Death could restore a previously cast Flesh to Stone (Level 6) and a Magic Missile (Level 1). Like the other members of its family, Spell Trap will not shield the caster from Area of Effect spells not aimed at the caster himself, nor will it block spells cast from within melee range (All spells with "Touch" as the maximum range), as they are already within the Spell Trap barrier by the time they are cast. Spell Turning Type: Wizard (Abjuration) Level: 7 Casting Time: 7 Duration: 3 rounds / level Saving Throw: N/A Range: 0 Target: None Area of Effect: Caster Description: In a nice twist of poetic justice, all spells aimed directly at the caster will rebound to strike the enemy Wizard or Priest who cast them. A total of 12 spell levels will be reflected back onto the attacker. Spellstrike Type: Wizard (Abjuration/Alteration) Level: 9 Casting Time: 5 Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: None Range: Sight Target: Creature Area of Effect: Creature Description: The most powerful Anti-Protection spell there is, Spellstrike will dispel ALL of the Spell Protections shielding the victim you have chosen to strip naked—from Minor Globe of Invulnerability to Spell Trap, all spells that block other spells will be gone. Note that Combat Protections, such as Stoneskin, Protection from Fire/Cold, and Protection from Magic Weapons, will not be dispelled. Sphere of Chaos Type: Wizard (Alteration) Level: 7 Casting Time: 7 Duration: 1 turn Saving Throw: Special Range: Sight Target: Point Area of Effect: 20' radius from target Description: Most properly cast by an Intoxicated Chaotic Neutral Wild Mage, Sphere of Chaos is a true weirdo spell: All creatures must Save vs. Spells for each round they stay within the area, and if they fail their Save, they will randomly do one of the following: Take 1D20 Fire Damage, be healed 20 HP, turn into a squirrel, fall unconscious, Dimension Door to some random point in their sight range, or be randomly Confused, Disintegrated, Held, or Hasted. Spider Spawn Type: Wizard (Conjuration) Level: 4 Casting Time: 6 Duration: 5 rnds + 1 rd/lvl Saving Throw: N/A Range: Sight Target: Point Area of Effect: Special Description: A large spider appears at a point selected by the caster, and will fight for him until slain or the duration expires. There is a 20% chance that 2 spiders will appear instead of 1, and more advanced wizards are able to summon stronger spiders: Levels 7-8: Giant Spider, Levels 9-11: Phase Spider, Levels 12 and up: Sword Spider. These spiders have the same attacks and abilities of their natural counterparts, including their immunity to Web. Spirit Armor Type: Wizard (Necromancy) Level: 4 Casting Time: 3 Duration: 10 turns Saving Throw: N/A Range: 0 Target: None Area of Effect: Caster Description: Behold the only defensive Necromancy spell in the whole Mage Book. Spirit Armor draws its power from the user's own life force, and sets the caster's AC to 1 for the duration of the spell, as well as granting a temporary -3 bonus to his Save vs. Spells. When the spell's duration expires, however, the life force expended with the casting will vanish, dealing 2D4 damage to the caster, unless he Saves vs. Spells. Spiritual Hammer Type: Priest (Cleric, Evocation) Level: 2 Casting Time: 5 Duration: 3 rnds + 1 rd/lvl Saving Throw: N/A Range: 0 Target: None Area of Effect: Caster Description: This spell creates a magical warhammer in the Cleric's hand, which cannot be removed until the spell expires. For every 6 caster levels, the enchantment on the warhammer increases by 1, to a maximum of +3 for a 13th-level Cleric. Spook Type: Wizard (Illusion) Level: 1 Casting Time: 1 Duration: 3 rounds Saving Throw: Negates Range: Sight Target: Creature Area of Effect: Creature Description: If the target creature fails to Save vs. Spell, they will fall under the illusion that a terrifying presence is attacking them, and will be so horrified that they can do nothing but flee from the caster as fast as they can, for the full 3 rounds of the spell's duration. The spell becomes more powerful as you gain levels: For every 2 caster levels, the target takes a +1 penalty to his Save against this spell, to a maximum of +6 when cast by a Level 12 Wizard. Creatures who are immune to Fear (Undead) and those who are incredibly stupid (Golems) will not be affected at all. I should note that there are no scrolls of Spook anywhere in the game, unless you happen to find one as a random treasure. Stinking Cloud Type: Wizard (Evocation) Level: 2 Casting Time: 2 Duration: 1 round / level Saving Throw: Negates Range: Sight Target: Point Area of Effect: 20' radius from target Description: Sickly vapors of a sickening, bilious-green hue fill the area, and anyone unhappy enough as to inhale them must Save vs. Death or fall to the ground unconscious, gasping and retching, for a full round, after which they can get up, take a deep breath, and be forced to make another Save or go through it all over again, until the spell expires. Creatures who are immune to Poison will not be affected. Stone to Flesh Type: Wizard (Alteration) Level: 6 Casting Time: 6 Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: N/A Range: Sight Target: Creature Area of Effect: Creature Description: This spell will only function on a creature that has been turned into stone, by whatever method. The creature and all items he or she was carrying will revert to their normal state, although the creature will have only 1 hitpoint, as a result of the Petrification. The spell can be used in BG1, but only by obtaining scrolls of the spell, which may be used by any character. Stoneskin Type: Wizard (Alteration) Level: 4 Casting Time: 1 round Duration: 12 hours Saving Throw: N/A Range: 0 Target: None Area of Effect: Caster Description: An immensely useful (and popular) spell, Stoneskin effectively renders a Wizard's poor AC irrelevant: Paper-thin layers of stone rise up from the ground and protect the caster without impeding his spellcasting or weighing him down. For every 2 caster levels, one skin will appear, and each skin will absorb the impact of one blow, either from a weapon or from a spell that creates projectiles, such as Magic Missile. Note that Stoneskin, like Ironskin, will not stop elemental damage: It will not protect the caster from spells such as Fireball, and if the caster is struck by a weapon that does cold damage, the hit from the weapon itself will be deflected (shattering one of the Stoneskins), but the Cold damage would still penetrate. Strength Type: Wizard (Alteration) Level: 2 Casting Time: 1 round Duration: 1 hour / level Saving Throw: N/A Range: 0 Target: None Area of Effect: Caster Description: This spell increases the Strength of the character to 18(50), along with the Weight Allowance and melee THAC0 bonuses that they would have from a natural 18(50) STR. If the target already has a STR higher than 18(50), this spell will actually lower it. Strength of One Type: Priest (Cleric, Alteration) Level: 3 Casting Time: 3 Duration: 1 turn Saving Throw: N/A Range: 0 Target: None Area of Effect: The party Description: Every member of the party, no matter how far they were from the caster at the moment the spell was completed, will have a Strength of 18(76) for one turn, even if their Strength was naturally higher. Each character's Weight Allowance and melee THAC0 will be adjusted to reflect the 18(76) Strength. In BG2, this spell is also open to Druids. Summon Djinni Type: Wizard (Conjuration) Level: 7 Casting Time: 1 round Duration: 1 round / level Saving Throw: N/A Range: Sight Target: Point Area of Effect: Special Description: A Djinni will be summoned from the Elemental Plane of Air to attack enemies of the caster—though it will attack the caster himself if injured by the caster or his party. What I find annoying about fighting Djinni is that they're difficult to kill: If you injure one badly enough, it drops into its Gaseous Form and is immune to all attacks, and then re-emerges, healed. Summon Efreeti Type: Wizard (Conjuration) Level: 7 Casting Time: 1 round Duration: 8 rnds + 1 rd/lvl Saving Throw: N/A Range: Sight Target: Point Area of Effect: Special Description: An Efreeti is from the Elemental Plane of Fire, and is more magic-oriented than the Djinni. Efreeti love using fire-based spells on those who anger them. Summon Fiend Type: Wizard (Conjuration) Level: 8 Casting Time: 9 Duration: 15 rounds Saving Throw: N/A Range: Sight Target: Point Area of Effect: Special Description: This spell summons a powerful demon to the Prime Material Plane, who will attack anyone and everyone that it can see. Like all demons, it prefers to attack and mangle those creatures who are not Protected from Evil. Summon Hakeashar Type: Wizard (Conjuration) Level: 7 Casting Time: 1 round Duration: 8 rnds + 1 rd/lvl Saving Throw: N/A Range: Sight Target: Point Area of Effect: Special Description: The Hakeashar is a more powerful version of the Nishruu: It is immune to Normal Weapons, has more HP and a lower THAC0, and will actually be healed by offensive magics. Summon Insects Type: Priest (Druid, Conjuration) Level: 3 Casting Time: 9 Duration: 7 rounds Saving Throw: Negates Range: Sight Target: Creature Area of Effect: Creature Description: The weakest of the 3 Insect spells, it is also the only one that can be cast by Rangers. The Priest commands nearby insects to gather, and the swarm moves to attack the targeted creature. The creature is allowed a Save vs. Spell with a +4 penalty; to fail means to be plagued by biting insects, resulting in 3 damage per round, 50% Spellcasting Failure, and +2 penalties to AC and THAC0 for the duration. Summon Nishruu Type: Wizard (Conjuration) Level: 6 Casting Time: 1 round Duration: 1 round / level Saving Throw: N/A Range: Sight Target: Point Area of Effect: Special Description: A Nishruu is a curious creature: It seems to be made of white fog, and it feeds off of magical energy—it cannot be damaged by spells, and each time it hits a spellcaster, its melee attack will drain one spell from the caster's memory. It is also capable of draining charges from, and even destroying, items that use charges, such as Wands. Happily, this Summoned creature will not turn on its master. Sunfire Type: Wizard (Evocation) Level: 5 Casting Time: 3 Duration: Instant Saving Throw: 1/2 Range: 0 Target: None Area of Effect: 20' radius from caster Description: Sunfire is, essentially, a very powerful Fireball that is always centered around the caster.

Sunray Type: Priest (Evocation/Alteration) Level: 7 Casting Time: 4 Duration: Instant Saving Throw: Special Range: 0 Target: None Area of Effect: 5' radius from caster Description: A powerful beam of sunlight shoots down from above (even in underground areas), dealing 3D6 damage to all within melee range of the caster, and forcing them to Save vs. Spells or suffer Blindness for 10 rounds. Undead are highly susceptible to sunlight; They will take 1D6 damage per caster level, and will die instantly if they fail their Save. The caster himself will not be harmed by this spell. Symbol: Death Type: Wizard (Conjuration), Priest (Cleric, Conjuration) Level: 8 (Wizard), 7 (Priest) Casting Time: 1 round Duration: Special Saving Throw: Negates Range: Sight Target: Point Area of Effect: 10' radius from target Description: The caster throws a disk inscribed with a symbol of power to any chosen point, where it will hover until 8 hours pass (and then disappear) or until it is triggered by any creature entering the blast radius, at which point all creatures within 10' of the floating disk must Save vs. Death or die instantly, unless they currently have more than 60 hitpoints, in which case they will suffer no ill effects.

Those who get motion sickness easily are advised to avoid this spell. Tenser's Transformation Type: Wizard (Alteration) Level: 6 Casting Time: 6 Duration: 1 round / level Saving Throw: N/A Range: 0 Target: None Area of Effect: Caster Description: One of the odder spells with one of the oddest icons, Tenser's Transformation turns the caster into a Fighter: The caster's current hitpoints are doubled, his Armor Class gains a -4 bonus (to a maximum benefit of -10), and his THAC0 becomes that of a Fighter of the same level, with an additional +2 bonus to THAC0 and damage tacked onto that. The caster does not gain the Attacks per Round of a Fighter, however, and cannot cast any spells while transformed into a Fighter. Time Stop Type: Wizard (Alteration) Level: 9 Casting Time: 9 Duration: 3 rounds Saving Throw: None Range: 0 Target: None Area of Effect: Entire map area Description: Time stops. For three rounds, the caster may walk about, cast more spells (even another Time Stop), and enjoy the sight of his friends and foes alike completely frozen in time. Even spell effects are halted: If they have not yet reached their target, they are paused en route. The wizard can also engage in combat; during a Time Stop, all attacks will automatically hit. In Throne of Bhaal, certain high-level enemies are immune to Time Stop. True Sight Type: Wizard (Divination), Priest (Shared, Divination) Level: 6 (Wizard), 5 (Priest) Casting Time: 6 Duration: 1 turn Saving Throw: None Range: 0 Target: None Area of Effect: Sight of caster Description: This powerful Divination spell lasts for one turn; at the beginning of each round, all hostile (cast by an enemy) Illusion spells in the area will be instantly Dispelled, regardless of any Magic Resistace the hidden creatures might have. The Priest version of this spell is called True Seeing. A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z Unholy Blight Type: Priest (Cleric, Necromancy) Level: 3 Casting Time: 3 Duration: Instant Saving Throw: Special Range: Sight Target: Point Area of Effect: 20' radius from target Description: This spell will only harm creatures of Good alignment, and for that reason cannot be cast by them. All Good creatures caught in this spell's area of effect must Save vs. Spells or take 1D4 damage per caster level and suffer a -2 penalty to all die rolls that he makes for the next 4 rounds. Creatures making their Save will take only half damage, and will not take the die-roll penalty. Unholy Word Type: Priest (Cleric, Conjuration) Level: 7 Casting Time: 1 Duration: Instant Saving Throw: None Range: Sight Target: Point Area of Effect: 20' radius from target Description: All Good creatures within 30 feet of the caster at the moment this spell fires suffer the following effects, based on the caster's level: Levels 1-4: Death. Levels 4-7: Stunned for 1 turn. Levels 8-11: Slowed for 1 turn with 75% chance of Spell Failure. Level 12 & up: Deafened for 1 turn (50% chance of Spell Failure).

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z Vampiric Touch Type: Wizard (Necromancy) Level: 3 Casting Time: 3 Duration: Instant Saving Throw: None Range: 0 Target: None Area of Effect: Caster Description: The caster must cast this spell, and then make a successful melee hit. When this happens, the target loses 1D6 HP for every 2 caster levels, to a maximum of 6D6 for a Level 12 caster. These HP are then added to the caster's, with any HP exceeding the caster's normal maximum total fading after 5 turns. Vocalize Type: Wizard (Alteration) Level: 2 Casting Time: 2 Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: N/A Range: Touch Target: Creature Area of Effect: Creature Description: The sole purpose of the Vocalize spell is to supplement other spells: It temporarily removes the spoken incantations required for almost all of the other spells a character can cast—instead of actually reciting the spell, the character need only say the words within his mind, and achieve the same result. This makes this spell invaluable to anyone who has been magically Silenced, or who anticipates being Silenced. In addition, this spell has no spoken component of its own, so a Silenced character can cast it on himself. A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z Wail of the Banshee Type: Wizard (Necromancy) Level: 9 Casting Time: 9 Duration: Instant Saving Throw: Negates Range: 0 Target: None Area of Effect: 30' radius from caster Description: This hideous scream will instantly kill anyone who hears it, unless they make their Save vs. Death. Web Type: Wizard (Evocation) Level: 2 Casting Time: 2 Duration: 2 turns / level Saving Throw: Negates Range: Sight Target: Point Area of Effect: 20' radius from target Description: This spell creates a huge, many-layered sticky net that explodes out of nowhere. All creatures except those naturally immune to Web spells must Save vs. Spells with a +2 penalty for each round they remain within the area of effect, or be entangled within the strands. A character's Strength has no effect on his odds of breaking free. Wish Type: Wizard (Conjuration, Evocation) Level: 9 Casting Time: 5 Duration: Special Saving Throw: Special Range: Special Target: Special Area of Effect: Special Description: Even more powerful, and therefore dangerous, than its watered-down 7th-level variant, full Wish is potentially a very important spell, capable of doing some quite handy things when you're caught in a tight corner. And no, you can't wish for all of your enemies to die instantly. Too bad. Wizard Eye Type: Wizard (Alteration) Level: 4 Casting Time: 1 round Duration: 1 round / level Saving Throw: N/A Range: 0 Target: None Area of Effect: Special Description: The only divination spell that is not part of the Divination school, Wizard Eye creates an invisible Eye that will zoom around under the caster's direction and scout out an area. It can see just as well as any normal creature could, though it lacks Infravision and it cannot detect Traps or Illusions. The Eye will obey the caster until it is Dispelled, destroyed in combat, or the spell expires. Any gaze attack striking the Eye will harm its master instead. Wondrous Recall Type: Priest (Alteration) Level: 6 Casting Time: 9 Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: N/A Range: 0 Target: None Area of Effect: Caster Description: With this spell, the caster is able to remember two memorized spells that he has already cast that day, enabling him to cast them again without Resting. Only spells from Levels 1 through 5 can be Recalled. I have not tested this spell with Cleric/Mages to see if Wizard spells can be Recalled as well. Wyvern Call Type: Wizard (Conjuration) Level: 6 Casting Time: 1 round Duration: 1 round / level Saving Throw: N/A Range: Sight Target: Point Area of Effect: Special Description: A fully-grown Wyvern will be teleported to the area and fight the caster's enemies, Poisoning those who fail their Save vs. Death from its melee attacks.
