just went through and wiped out the theives and Aran for Bohdi, and now I find that my spells have no effect for any of my spellcasters, such, if I try to cast invisible on my Protagonist, it tells me that he casts invis, and right under it

Wild Surge: You feel itchy - along the lines of that anyway

I can't seem to get rid of this effect, it doesnt show up as anything is the matter with my characters either ..

Ive even tried killin my characters and reviving them, but to no avail .. also, it wont even let me try temple services on them (like tryin to rez a persson who isnt dead, all optionss are grey'd out)

I've tried breach and dispel magic as well, but no luck, oddly enough tho, it lets me use my minor spell sequencer, tho i havent tried actually casting it once i've selected my spellss


sry if it's a bit un organized and any typos, my kb *dont* work.. took about 30 min to type this .. lol

I've never heard of that problem before. Could be a bug. Do you have the official patch installed? If so and the problem persists it might just be a simple reload job that you need.

no, dont have the patch, just bought SoA and ToB less than a week ago .. will try patchin, just hope i dont have to start over cause I was kinda attached to my party (goin through it on multiplayer so i could create all my characters, tho i do want a thief)

-edit- just outta curiousity, what spell causes this effect ?

-edit2- Started up BG2, loaded my game and everything is workin fine, thankfully, dang bugs

I think that this post should be in ToB forum since Wild surges are related to the new mage class introduced with ToB. This also means you probably got a Wild Mage in your party who got a Wild Surge which gave you the effect of being Itchy. Don't know how to cure it though, sorry.

Hit Ctrl-H until you get something that says IIRC Wild Surge=0.

It's a debugging feature. If you noticed, all the enemy spellcasters get the same effect.

This is not a bug, and it is not dependant on class.

Yep, it's the debuggment. Try running thorough all the surges for fun... you get to see all the effects :D such as lots of squirrels *wink*
