How do you get the spell triggers to work????

If by "Triggers" you mean sequencers, you do this:

1) cast the spell (minor sequencer, or spell sequencer) and choose the spells you want stored in the sequencer.

2) when you need to use the spells, I think you click on the backpack and use the item. You'll see a little feather-like icon. Click on that to activate the spells in the sequencer.

Actually they're in your special abilities (the star icon)

Melusine: You know I was thinking that they were under the special abilities icon, but I'm at work and in thinking about the game, I couldn't figure out why they would be put there . Didn't make any sense, so I figured I must have been wrong in my initial hunc -- backpack seemed much more logical. Ooops.

That's okay... it shows you're not as barmy as me, I seem to have used up most of my brain power memorising silly little BG2 facts

...and blonde -jokes.

Speaking of which, anyone have any more offerings for the daily laugh thread?

Have you read my blonde hitchhiker joke yet, Melusine?

yeah...it was hilarious! I keep laughing so hard I'm afraid my stomach'll rip or something like that!
Check out the Seven dwarves joke I just posted!

Penguins, ROTFLMAO!!!
