I have never understood the purpose of specalised mages. They can not learn as many spells as a regular mage cos of the oposition class thing. It would seems far better to just be a regular mage with 18 Int then you would have access to most spells. The only way to get 19 Int in BGII is to be a Gnome but then you have to become an Illusionist which defeats the point of the 19 Int as it means you cant learn all of the spells. I have neverunderstood specalised mages so some one please explain.
