Wild Mage questions.

[ElfBane]

Does anyone on this board know of a site that has a description of wild mage spells/abilities? My version of SoA has ToB already embedded, so when I imported my BG1 character, I could(and did) make him a "wild mage". I was able to pick 2 wild spells.."reckless dweomer" and "chaos shield" when making up the character. I have no documentation on when future wild spells/abilities come available. You don't seem to be able to buy them. Do they only come as loot? On level up? TIA.

This belongs to ToB forums. They come as loot IIRC. From scrolls as usual.

You'll need to install the ToB patch and ToB fixpack, or else your wild mage may have problems when going from SoA to ToB. There was a bug where you'd lose the 2 wild mage spells, so this patch automatically places these 2 spells into your spellbook from the start of the game.

There are only 3 Wild Mage specific spells & you automatically get them all in your spell book. A Wild Mage casts the same spells a regular Wizard does, but gets a bonus spell for each level (which can be of any school - you can go the whole game without casting one of the 3 Wild Mage spells).

Every time you cast a spell, though, your level will fluctuate by +/-5, which can affect damage, duration, etc. You also have a small chance of creating a Wild Surge. Instead of casting the spell you selected, you roll on a table of 100 different random effects (party loses gold, caster changes genders temporarily, summon a dozen squirrels, get dizzy, etc., etc...). Try it out - it's a fun class.
