ToB ruined my game

[SecretMaster]

Oh man it has been awhile since i played BGII. A long time, like two years or so. So anyway, I am playing my game and casting a spell when I get this wild mage crap. I remembered that certain areas don't allow you to cast spells or else you just get some random wild mage effects. What gives??? Is it because I have cheats enabled and is there anyway to fix it?

You should only get wild surges in a certain level of watchers keep.

What level are you and where were you when you cast the spell. Also are you a wild mage ?

Cheers!

A better thread title would be, "Cheating ruined my game" but snideness aside, this sounds like the case of the player unwittingly pressing Ctrl+H(or was it I?).

This causes wild surges to occur in all your spells. Keep pressing it until it hits 0.

ctrl+I initiates a random party dialogue

CTRL+H -- Fixes a wild mage to a specific surge, such that every time he casts a spell he gets that surge. Setting the Surge Number to 0 undoes the surge fixing and goes back to normal functioning (or malfunctioning as the case may be). One could be really cheesy if they wanted and keep a wild mage fixed at the "spell cast at normal, all spells refreshed as if rested" and keep the entire spellbook "memorized" off of one Nahal's Reckless Dweomer (since it would always work). All of the advantages of Sorcerers and Wizards rolled into one. Really cheesy, as I said. (from Vash)

Now, that is pure, unadulterated cheese.

Oh, ok, thanks. Curse those lousy cheats. I got bored one day and wanted to see how great they are. Although I didn't mind making my thief looking like a shadow thief.
