[Sir Mandorallen]

Okay here is something that you should never ever do.

Say you have Nalia as a mage, and Jan as your theif. You have a full party pretty late in chapter two and you need to pick up Valgar for the Planer Sphere quest. Well you think that you don't need Nalia as you have Jan and your party can easily handle the wizards and demons with ease. Well Nalia has the Staff of the Magi, and Jan is your parties only person with a ranged weapon, so you decide that you don't need to take the Staff with you. So you leave it equiped in Nalia's weapon slot. Duh. Don't ever do it.

I'll tell you why. You finnaly finnish with the Planar Sphere and in the process delete all of your previous saves except for you emergency-back-up-save, which is WAY back there, about three quests and three liches ago. Well you go back to get Nalia and... you guessed it. She isn't there. Why? Because one of the equiped abilaties of the Staff of the Magi +5 is invisability. Which, may I remind you, you cannot dispel off of her. Believe me, I tried EVERY single spell I could and she wouldn't show up. A fireball turned her visible when she became hostile and casted spells at me. So in other words I have to load that way-back-there-back-up save and do about three quests and kill those three liches, and then the planer sphere agian, just because I didn't take the damnable staff out of Nalia's hands. Damn it's depressing.

Anyway.... a word to the wise. Don't ever drop a person in your party who has the Staff of the Magi +5 in their hands.
