Icewind Dale Spell Casting Instructions?

In Icewind Dale, spell casters play a crucial role in the game. They can cast spells between Levels 1 and 6, with the maximum level for Bards being 18. In Heart of Winter, they can cast Levels 7 and 8. To convert a spell, you must SHIFT-left-click it when casting it. The recipient of a spell can cast spells with a verbal component without making any noise, as long as the casting takes place entirely within the duration.

When casting a spell, there is a 5 chance of incurring a wild surge. Clerics and Druids use the Priest Book, while Mages, Sorcerers, and Bards use the Mage Book. Mage spells are disabled by wearing armor, while Cleric spells aren’t. To cast spells from scrolls, you need 7 Intelligence (or possibly 9 if you’re mistaken).

To memorize spells, click on your mage and click the “spellcasting” icon. Click on your spell in the menu. You can cast spells from an equipped item like the Bracers of Icelandic Pearl or the Wyrm’s Maw Helm. Identify the spell, which cannot be accessed in the spells tab on the main screen. Go to the inventory, right-click on the spell icon on the quick bar, and check if it’s ready to cast. If it’s zero, your spell is ready. Left-click on the icon for the spell you want to assign to the button, and the regular “taskbar” should reappear with the spell in the QC slot.

In summary, spell casters play a significant role in the game, with different roles and abilities depending on the player’s skill level and experience.
