Notes[]
- Though displayed as such, a successful Dispel does not remove the effects of this spell from a weapon.
- This spell does not work on ranged weapons.
- The spell script fails to enhance a greatclub weapon, because it is not recognized as a melee weapon. In the Original Campaign, the King of Shadows wields this kind of weapon; if the player creates a copy of him using Shadow Simulacrum, and then tries to use this spell on the doppelganger, it will return an error. To fix, open the script include
x2_inc_itemprop.nss
, addBASE_ITEM_GREATCLUB
to theIPGetIsMeleeWeapon()
function, then recompile the X2_S0_GrMagWeap.nss script.
3.5e Comparison[]
- In 3.5, this spell could affect as many as fifty arrows, bolts, or bullets rather than a weapon (if the ammunition was of the same type), but could not affect thrown weapons (except for shuriken). The projectiles lose their enchantment bonus when used. It could also affect ranged weapons, and such weapons would give the enchantment bonus to their ammunition.
