Book of infinite spells

Post by lompo »

The spells contained in the book are random or are always the same; and if so does anybody has a list of them and eventualy the order they appear?
Thanks

are you sure it's random? because everytime i've gotten it it starts out on fireball. I've only turned the page twice, but both times i got that one spell deflection spell. I actually did use it sometimes with spell deflection (or whatever it's called)

If you don't think it's random, save the game, and turn a page, then another. Now, reload, and try it again. Do this a few times. You'll find out pretty quickly that it truly is random.

I checked the files, and the book of infinite spells always starts with fireball. When you turn a page, you'll be able to get 9 different spells to choose from.
There's a 10% chance to get either of the other spells - the last 10% is the "you've turned the last page". This is the ramdom part.

For those of you interested these are the other 9 spells available:
Invisibility (w lv.2)
Portection from evil (w lv.1)
True Seeing (p lv.5)
Farsight (w lv.4)
Spell turning (w lv.7)
Wyvern call (w lv.6)
Stinking cloud (w lv.2)
Lightning bolt (w lv.3)
Burning hands (w lv.1)

All spells are cast with the power of an 10th level caster.

Thanks for the tips.
Being actually an Inquisitor (plenty of prot. from evil and true sight), I will turn pages and stick with spell deflection (is still a lv 7).
The other spells or sucks or are already available in big number (I've in my group two mages).
