"this spell ages the recipient by one year" Does this have any effect? Should I limit the use of this spell because of that?

I never noticed any game play difference.. I usually played as an elf, their lifespans are so long that the number of times I used the spell would make no difference...

OTOH, it might make a difference for humans - however, I am not sure if this "age effect" was acutally implemented in BG1 - I don't think it was.

If you notice the effects of it, I'd say you're reaaallly slow ;) :p

Eh...I don't get it :(

In other words, if it takes you most of your lifetime beating the game, then you are slow.

In that case, anyone ever taken more than 365 days to beat BG1 (in-game time)? :p

Heh, no, not that long...I got addicted the first time I played it so it only took 3 or 4 weeks. Others are addicted to alcohol, some are addicted to cocaine, but not me. I'm addicted to Baldurs Gate!

I think the longst it took me to beat the game on my first go was 129 game days or something liekthat

The aging effect of this spell is not included in BG, for the factor Age is not used in the whole BG games.

i like to play long so i am almost on day 200
im gonna miss the times in good old bg1

I also like to play but after a while there is nothing more too do in the area's so then I have to complete the game and start again :)

But I do like to sleep so maybe that causes the long time I play in the game.... In BG I'm act like a real student; drink beer and sleep is the most favorit thing :)
