I can't identify anything or even use spells with Imoen in chapter 1 even though they are memorised. Is this normal or do I have a corrupt version of BG:SoA ?

Abilities are ok with others.

I have played BG with no problems so know how to use the spell system ;)

Please reply

Rev.

Has she got any armour on?

Only leather armour.

Rev.

No armour = spells

Leather Armour = no spells

Thanks. I'll restart it now then.

Rev.

You don't have to restart, simply pull up her inventory screen, remove the armor and put it in your backpack.

Go back to the main screen and poof, she can cast spells now!
