Annoying early plothole - Page 3

But the problem is: Imoen uses a Magic Missile spell, even if you erased it from her spell slot (or used up all her MM spells). Why she does it, that's legitimate and no big deal. How she does it, however, is what was bugging Cerebrodragon

Good point Dundee, makes sense considering her heritage.

So, as i know Imoen casts the missiles, gets taken away. When i first played i put leather on Imoen and thus taking away her magic ability, yet she still fired. By the way, whay happened to her unremovable belt after the protagnist saves her? I also been thinking lately. If you cast to much magic in Althlakla, could you not just be sent away without finding a way to where Imoen is? I got a warning once about using magic. hehe, i used a shadow door spell in the opening. I suppose i need to try this.

No. If you keep casting magic cowled wizards will just attack you.

Which they did with Jon Irenicus as well, but he was so powerful, they dared not approach. "This mage's power is immense" Jon Irenicus, seeing the opportunity, said they could take him but they would have to take the girl as well: in that case the protagonist was forced to follow.

However, if you beat up their sorry butts long enough, they too will concede that your power is immense and leave you alone.

Well.. they do send a couple of their powerful goons, Dundee [img]smile.gif[/img] (.. worth some decent XP

)

... the fight is easily won with traps, and it is justifiable too; because

1) They warn you of "serious consequences"
2) You know they teleport in when you cast a spell

So a bevy of traps laid around your Mage and some summons from a Priest; and voila! You have set up an ambush to beat the tar out of the Cowled Wizards.

By that logic, surely, your own "mage" would get the "offer" to be "escorted" to spellhold... Of course, that'd screw up the plot further, but it'd be interesting [img]tongue.gif[/img]
