<p><a name="restrict_abi_dalzim"></a><strong>Abi-Dalzim's Horrid Wilting does not affect undead, constructs, and (non-water) elementals (BG2EE,BGEE,EET,IWDEE; not Spell Revisions)</strong></p>
<p>From its description, Horrid Wilting ought not to affect creatures with no moisture in their bodies. The actual spell, as implemented, affects basically everything (the IWD version does not affect undead). This component restricts the spell so as not to affect earth/air/fire elementals, undead, constructs and the like</p><p>Note that the 'Telekinetic Storm' spell, introduced by the New Arcane Spells component, does affect all these creatures, at the cost of doing slightly less damage (1d6 per level, not 1d8).

<p>Skull Trap, like the other Level 3 spells Fireball and Lightning Bolt, does <acronym title="1 roll of a six-sided die">1d6</acronym> damage per level. Unlike those spells, though (and, I suspect, via an oversight on the developers' part, though I could be wrong) Skull Trap's damage is not capped at <acronym title="10 rolls of a six-sided die">10d6</acronym>, which makes it extremely lethal for a third level spell by the later part of the game. This component caps the damage of Skull Trap at <acronym title="12 rolls of a six-sided die">12d6</acronym> (the slightly higher cap reflects the much shorter range of Skull Trap compared to Fireball.</p>

<p>The Cure and Cause Wounds families are very weak, especially at higher levels - it really isn't worth (e.g.) using a fourth-level cleric slot to heal 14 hit points or do the same amount of damage. This component increases the effectiveness of these spells somewhat (roughly following 3rd edition D&D): they heal (or cause) 5 hit points per level of the spell, plus a bonus amount equal to 1 per level of the caster but no more than 5 per level of the spell (so a maximum of 5 for Cure Light Wounds, but 20 for Cure Serious Wounds). For lore reasons, this is capped at 20th level on Baldur's Gate and Baldur's Gate II. (The exact amount of enhancement can be customized; see the main readme.)</p>
<p><a name="larloch"></a><strong>Larloch's Minor Drain becomes more powerful at higher levels (not Spell Revisions)</strong></p>
<p>The necromantic spell 'Larloch's Minor Drain' drains 1d4 hit points (in IWD) or 4 hit points (in BG/BG2) from the target and gives them to the caster. That's minor but not useless at first level, but it quickly becomes worthless at higher levels. This component makes the drain level-dependent: 1d4 at first level, increasing by 1d4 every two levels to a maximum of 5d4. That makes it roughly competitive with Magic Missile (the benefit that it heals the caster is offset against the slightly lower damage and the fact that it doesn't work on undead.)</p>

<p><a name="iron_body"></a><strong>Modified version of the Iron Body spell (does not prevent spellcasting) (BG2EE,BGEE,EET,IWDEE)</strong></p>
<p>Iron Body (an 8th level wizard spell introduced in IWD) is thematically cool but in practice not that useful: it gives moderately nice defensive boosts but they're not that exciting, and it shuts down spellcasting, making it useless to single-class wizards in most circumstances. This component improves the physical damage protection (to 75%) and replaces the outright block on spellcasting with a -2 casting speed penalty. This should make the spell a fairly powerful defensive choice - but it is 8th level, so that seems apposite.</p>
