So
that's what the little bugger was casting. I thought he was casting Protection from Magical Weapons, which made a bit more sense until I thought, wouldn't the Cowlies have taken any weapons he had, magical or otherwise?
Not like Protection from Magical Energy could've helped them out. Being a level 30 mage apparently gives your spells animations from the kensai class, as well as wands. I know it was meant to make Irenicus look like death on legs, but those poor slobs didn't stand a chance. He minced at least four of them into Purina Cowled Wizard Chow in Waukeen's Promenade
after he already tossed spells at the Shadow Thieves for who knows how long.
I'm tempted to download the speeded-up cutscene feature from EoU to see how improved it is.
"Did you see the new one they brought in? She's a cutie, isn't she?"
"I'm going to have to practice some enchantment spells on that one..."
"Hehe...hold, who goes there?"
"It's him! He's escaped! Gods, no--he's here!"
(Irenicus dimension doors in.)
"You don't trust me, do you?"
(spell casting...cowled wizard switches gender...other cowlies giggle about his change of shape...subject dimension doors out in embarrassment)
"Well...I see we have a long way to go."
(spell casting...cow falls on another cowled wizard)
"If I were creating the world I wouldn't mess about with butterflies and daffodils. I would have started with lasers, eight o'clock, Day One!"
(spell casting...last cowled wizard gets very itchy as a level 60 finger of death blasts him into chunky salsa)
"Now Imoen, I'm going to have to turn you into a dog for a while."
"What--what are you going to do with me?"
"Nothing worse than I'm going to do to your friend. I'm gonna quote even more movies at her."
(You wake up with a chill down your spine and hope he doesn't torture your poor Imoen with Quest of the Delta Knights!)
