i was playing through SoA for the second time with a cheat that allowed u to edit stuff in and shadow keeper when i got up to that black dragon in suldeneslar(much harder than i remember)i got mad and pressed the Ctrl buton on key board in combination with others.i found out that i could make time move faster and i thought it was cool so pressed some more buttons while holding down Ctrl and then i hit some that made the word surge apear in the text box.i pressed that button 7 times and reloaded. Now every time i play it counts my spells as wiled magic and ive had my sex changed evry spell exept fire shield.the wild surge is not prohibited to just me either it affects all mages and clerics any 1 that uses magic.
the cheat that lets u edit stuff in is clua console or some thing.

You hit 'CRTL+H', which sets the global surge effects for all spells cast by PC's, NPC's and monsters - though I understand this ability was removed in the latest patch. It can lead to some amusing side effects, such as watching frustrated liches cast spells which only end up making them glow wild colors, etc. Quitting out of BG and re-starting restores the global wild surge number - you can also reset it in-game by holding down CRTL+H until it hits 0.

probably of type neither....
check the cre file using sk....
oh, btw....if you set surge numbers and then install the tob patch, your changes are undone....
also, "scrlzz" summon cow, a really fun spell if it works properly is almost always wild surged...regardless of the patch....
but when it casts normally, it drops a holstein on a enemy....
can you say
BONK!!! MOOO!!!!
i learned all this fooling around with prototype bun bun version4, trying to lock surges pre patch, and then patching...
