Where are all the Spells?

Post by dera »

I found a list of spells in Torment on one of the many webpages for it, and have played through the game a few times. There are still many of the spells that I could not find. Some are specific for an NPC, like Reign of Anger for Dakkon, and Ignus has Tongues of Flames, Fiery Rain, and Elemental Strike.
Does anyone know how to acquire these other spells, or are they usable only by NPCs such as Trias and Ravel:

Pain mirror - 2nd
Horror – 2nd
Black-barbed Shield – 2nd
Adder’s Kiss – 2nd
Enoll Eva’s Duplication – 5th
Howl of Pandemonium – 6th
Guardian Mantle – 7th
Ignus’ Fury – 8th
Conflagratoin – 9th
Elysium’s Fires – 9th

Spoilers

I am not totally through the game yet, but I think certain spells can only be obtained by certain teachers of the Art. Pain Mirror, for example, can only be obtained if Lady Thorncombe teaches you to become a Wizard. Since I had Mebbeth teach me, I will never see Pain Mirror in my game.

Other spells are only used by certain NPCs (some non-joinable), and unfortunately can not found anywhere for use by Nameless.

Other spells are only obtained by making certain decisions in the course of the game. In fact, I think some of the decisions you need to make to get certain spells are actually *evil* decisions.

Half of me says: For shame, Black Isle! Some of these spells look very cool!

The other half: Bravo, Black Isle! Decisions that actually mean something!

I am not schizophrenic. And neither am I.
Why is it that whenever I finally get around to playing a new game for the first time,
I feel like playing Baldur's Gate for the second time...

horror - might be a randomly generated drop (esp. in the rubikon) - does the mausoleum mage have a copy of it?

black-barbed shield - if you butter up ravel enough, she'll give you some items which you can use to acquire this one.

adder's kiss - a random drop? the pestilence tome also rewards this for its second task.

enoll eva's duplication - nordom will give you an item you can use to inscribe this one--you need to work through all his dialogues once you *talk* to and then kill the EWC.

ignus' fury - might be ignus only, like tongues of flame (?)

i know conflagration is useable by TNO, but can't recall how i obtained it.

the others, i haven't ever found--but there is an item in carceri that will grant several otherwise non-findable spells--perhaps they are there (can't recall, though).

If you talk to party members, and you are wizard with enough int - you can learn Dakkon's powers, Ignus'es specials, etc. Explore more, I have found all the spells in the game. Read the posted walkthrough for more info.

I think Conflagation (and maybe Ignus's Fury too) can be learned from Ignus himself through dialogue between him and the TNO.

Horror can be bought from Mebbeth.
And you can get Adder's Kiss from the talking book - it is one of the three spells it gives you. Also Adder's Kiss can be looted from the guy who traps you in the house in the Rugpicker's Square.

endgame spoiler:

Ignus' Fury can only be used against you if you fight him in the fortress. As far as I know, there's no way you can use it without cheating.
Vicsun, I certainly agree with your assertion that you are an unpleasant person. ~Chanak

Acquiring spells

Lots of spells can be bought off one of the merchants in the marketplace in Sigil's Lower Ward and Fjull has a lot to give away if you ask him when you meet him.
Some spells can be found randomly and others can be learnt off Ignus and Dakkon. I think there was also a rare spell or two in Pharod's vault.

Oh, and joing the Dustkeepers gets you access to the two embalming spells.

I hope this will be of help, if you cannot find these locations check the walkthrough.
