Preamble :

Always looking for new mods could customize my avatars in Baldurs Gate, I am delighted to share my impressions about this mod that seems very promising.

Objectives:

Initially I'm looking to "pyrotechnics" spells and bare hand fighting types innates habilities (for some of my character, Eg: )




Also willing to create a Kensai Acid Kit (CF: Weimer), all spells belonging to the "sphere" of the "Acid", also interests me,

And those likely to improve the skills of the Fighters (Critical Hits etc ...) or Bards (Spells, Innate), too.

-During installation, sometimes Weidu says : "not found space for ...":





In Game :

While some spells really forced admiration:
In particular:
-Hypnotic Patterns




However, the bams, are designated in a manner different




Bugs

None yet
Even if the game crashed, when I wanted to cast two spells in quick succession, but I have to try again to make sure this is not my PC that is causing the bug ...

You will have to activate CLUAConsole first. Instructions on how to do that

If you want to learn flame blade (SPPR206), you will have to move your cursor over the character, and press ctrl and space together. A text window appears at the very bottom of the game screen. Type in (for Flame Blade) CLUAConsole:AddSpell("SPPR206")

What you are doing, playtesting analysing spells one-by-one is really useful for me, Thank you very much, I can only encourage you to continue, I really like the way you set up the criteria and everything.
