Say you have cast an armor spell, and it lasts 8 hours. How do you know when the 8 hours are up? Maybe I'm dumb, but there aren't any clocks, right? I'd like to know when my spell is about used up.

Ideally, I'd like an alarm clock. That way, I could set it to 7.5 hours from "now", and then I'd know when my 8 hour spell is about to go away, when the alarm rings.

Bottom corner of the left game panel. Hold your mouse over it.

How long does one round lasts (real time, not in game)?

and maybe this is a stupid question of me:

What exactly is a turn? Is it several rounds? Is there some info about this here on SP? Thank you in adv.

1 turn is 10 rounds, i.e. 1 minute RT in BG2.

There is I think a 10:1 time factor in by so that 1 day takes just over 2 hr real time... Could be wrong about that.
