About Elven Chain: It may be possible that DSotSC turns Drizzt's mail into Elven Chain, enabling such things as Stealth and Wizard spellcasting while it is being worn. (I wouldn't know, I've never downloaded DSotSC.) It is also possible that not patching your game allows those skills to be used, but I doubt it, because I didn't patch my BG1 game for ages, and never noticed any spellcasting or Steath abilities.

But the fact remains that in official BG1/ToSC, Drizzt's Mail is NOT Elven Chain. Even if you Export your Fighter/Mage into BG2 and try to cast spells there, it still won't work. So, madjim, if you remember Garrick casting spells while wearing Drizzt's mail, you were either using DSotSC, or casting directly from a scroll (which can be done in any armor).
