I'm in the 3rd level of WK, and I attempt to use some spells. I have a castinf failure because of "dead magic." What is that supposed to mean?? Anyways, is there any way to get around it. Also, enemies in the same area also have casting failures for the same reasoning. Thanks.

Its a dead magic zone, left over from the time of troubles.

No spells can be cast here. Looks like you will need to get your hands dirty for this fight.

eh, if i do, i think im screwed. oh well, just try all the rooms around it for buffing, first. ;)

Nope. They cancel/dispel all active spells. Note lack of stoneskin/iron skins.

Potions *might* work... I'm not sure.

Dead magic means no magic/buffs/spells of any kind. Im pretty sure it means no potions either.

Blame Bane and Myrkul they were the ones who took the tablets of Fate and caused the Gods to walk the surface.

Only way through this is brute strength or running.

If you have Tactics MOD and install a component called "The Ritual", then when you come to the Watcher`s Keep area you meet a certain guy who has certain boots that nullify these effects. (Of dead magic) So you cannot be dispelled by the Dead Magic zone.

Spoilers!!


Well, I'm exploring some other areas on this floor, and I have only one question: Why in the 9 hells am I being attacked on site by everything, and everybody!!?? The demons, I understand, but what about those tieflings?? I'm getting a bit annoyed, and am about to go all Baal-crazy on them all. [img]graemlins/1pissed.gif[/img]

Also, what's with the crazy little mephit-looking dudes? I think they're called quisits, or something. That was an interesting fight.
Note: Death spell isn't as fun when everyone has magic resistance and really low friggin' saves! [img]graemlins/1disgust.gif[/img]

Death Spell IGNORES saves. They probably either had Magic Resistance or are of too high a level to be affected.

High level? Or high HP? I didn't think your level affects your chance against surviving the death spell...except for maybe how you get more HP as your level increases...
