thanks for all the tips. I've been talked out of cheating, I think I'm just going to take my pure mage from BG1 and just kit him into the wild mage in BG2, nevermind the cleric abilities. Frankly, I just want the wild mage, the cleric was to just help buff my character out, but who needs it.
On the other hand, I am tempted to shadowkeep imoen and up her a few levels as a thief...
just kidding.
