I start the SOA game as the wild mage, at first i thought it was pretty powerful.But everytime i cast a spell, it displays "the caster's spell level inc/dec by #(random number)". More worst, sometimes a wild surge happens, it either turns me into the opposite sex or destroy all my gold or change my custom character's color. I tried dispel magic on it but doesn't work.Do i have to save and load everytime a bad wild surge happens???

when I played as 1 it wasnt till he got to high levels till he was much use, the higher level they the more chance it'll cast what you want I think

The sex-change wears off after 8 hours (more or less). I know because a quasit in a wild-magic zone sex-changed my solo Monk. Which stripped h(er)im of h(er)is monk abilities. In the middle of a wild-magic zone stuffed with quasits, hiccupping squirrels and confused giants.

The gold loss is permanent. The coor change is reversible by normal means - i didnt think there was a color change in the wild surge chart, but never mind.

Heh, heh, heh... everybody in the party including summons get their own personal Time Stop, once after the other.

I started a wild mage a few days ago, I soon had to give in though, I got upto saradush (didn't bother with SOA) I only had about a 20% chance of successfully casting a spell every other time somthing bad happened. But I must admit it was damn funny i am going to start one in SOA when i have got some spare time.

Well if ya dont like the wild surges play a different class; I personally think that wild mages are 'unplayeable'; They are too eratic, i just dont have the pateince playing one, I think they were intened as a 'fun' class, but not a serious character, I could be wrong, but... It would be really difficult completing tob with one... you fight amelisan, and change into a female/male... yeah, oh I'm gonna be the new Lord of Murder, and...yes... now I'm a girl. kinda diflating for ur ego huh??

Well, I think that class is genius, the dweomer spell wich alows u to cast any spell u know even if its to high lvl. U start a vild surge, but so what. At low lvl the wild mage is better than normal, and I dont think he gets worse after a while.

And whit all that he is enormus fun to play whit. doubles spell eggekt (jummy to time stop and improved alcatry!!1)

Ok I've being playing one in a multiplayer game it's fun, my team mates have all banned me from casting spells because of the consequences of them they just didnt seem to aprieciate the funny side of my haste spell making a cow fall from the sky onto my allies [img]smile.gif[/img] .

Now I have to stand behind a rock throwing taunts at my enemies instead of spells lol
