Thanks.
I have been pausing. The first time I played (I tend to jump in) I didn't know about it and it was an unholy mess.
Still, spells seem to have a range, and to get close enough to cast many of them, I become visible to the enemy, they come running over and etc etc. Like, i have been playing the Druid Grove, and those damn trolls come running at me before Jaheira or Aerie can slow them down with entangle or that web spell.
Are some spells faster? Can you get faster with leveling up?
Also, some spells reguire touching an enemy. What if they whack you mid-cast? How can you use tehse when you ae toe-to-toe with a baddie?
Signed,
