If you could learn a single BG2 spell in real life which would it be?

Lighten up everyone - there's a lot that can be done in 6 minutes, or a lot you can tell your simulacrum to do. And hey, just watch Hollow Man to see the inherent problems of invisibility

<eyes suspiciously>

Personally, I'd go for Fireball just for the f*ing badness of it. And hey, lets face it, no one on the planet is gonna have protection from fire.

I think I would choose hmmmm...protection from fire (100%!!) not because of kitchen accidents or because I play with fire but the share fact that knowing that somewere there are a "person" runnig around with a fireball!!

LOL Garcia. I'd still get you with a sharp stick though.

The first thing that came to me was 'Time Stop', then 'Invisibility'.

I think 'Insect Plague' would be pretty good to drop onto the next cabinet meeting.

Also useful 'Farsight', 'Cure Disease', or 'Heal'.

Simulacrum, ideal for boring meetings.

i don't know wich to pick so i name all three:

Time Stop, i know some pretty nice things i can do when time stands still and i can do what i want with no one knowing what i'm doing

Improved Invicibilaty, always handy to be invicible when u need to

Simularicum, defenatly to use in really boring, annoying, or hard moments.

Everyone is obviously forgetting about Summon Cow

I would also really love to get Irenicus' ligthning spell, the one that actually LOOKS like lightning, just for the coolness effect.

And BTW, Summon Cow is in the game, so don't start putting up random spells that people make up for the slapstick humour effect. This IS a forum for BG2 spells, after all.

Well depending on how much juice you could get out of limited wish it could be the way to go. Some simple wish like Whats the numbers going to be for the coming lotto tomorrow? LOL that would rock. You'd win every lottery you ever wanted to easily.

And for those days when I'm in a nasty mood and wish a bunch of people would just die, Gate! Heh.

Idiyen · Post by **Idiyen** » Thu May 10, 2001 1:42 pm

hehe litmited wish could be bad.
Wish for lotto numbers?
You could get the losing number
you could get the number of people that bought a ticket (thats a lotto number)

there is just about nothing significant you can wish for that cant be fuked up

Craig · Post by **Craig** » Thu May 10, 2001 1:59 pm

You'd wish
"I want the winning lottery numbers that has not been called out for this week!

Death spell all the way. I don't think many people in real life have 8 hit dice or whatever

Oh yeah, how bout tensor's transformation to impress the chicks.(I'm a genius)
