Should be possible, yes. Check out Baldur's Gate II Equipment and tell me which ones you want. I'll export them, so you can install them the same way you did with the Wakizashi of the Night.

Ok here you go ToB weapons (right click, save as)... havent tested them with SOA so i cant guarantee anything.

As for the spells... thats not my department :(

I doubt that you could get ToB spells in BG2 because of the different animations in each game, it's unlikely that BG2 has those animations... :(

Should be possible to convert the animations aswell to BG2... no?

The animations? Yes, can't see why not, the code would be ok I would think. The actual manipulation of the spells, copying them and so on would be easy, but the animations would have to be found. I suppose you could copy the anim directory and give it Damone and thus solving that problem. You could give it a go. You would need to pack it though. Have a go, it would be interesting to find out. Don't forget that spells like Wish would need to have the Djinni script as well, otherwise it would crash on casting.

Do you think it would work? If not, maybe you could ask one of the TeamBG crew to knock up a spell pack for you. :)

I'm intrigued, let me know of developments... :)

as i recall you can use the TOB spells in SOA if you play SOA after installing TOB you will get the high level spells(lvl 10 or what you want to call them) and the other is just to use shadow keper.'

i can be wrong or maby i didnt understad.

One thing about the items, did you actually extract the picture files as well? Some of the items use new pictures, so they wouldn't show up properly if you don't have the BAM files.

hmmm... i went through the weapons with shadow keeper. the description was there BUT the pictures weren't. i havent actually tried them out yet since im not allowed to play games till my exams are over, but i play when my parents are out. as soon as i get the chance ill confirm this.

well, i added the weapons to my character using shadow keeper. then, i started the game and when i looked into the inventory it was empty. out of anger, i clicked on the place where i put the sword and the weapons slots lit up!! i had picked up the sword! when i placed it in a weapon slot, the weapon cant be seen on the slot but it appears on the doll and the real game!

and i am unfairly chopping up weak SOA opponents with powerful TOB weapons.

Well thats because, as Sabre pointed out, that you also need the graphics for the weapons. I'll find extract them asap.
