The Secret Language of Shadows: Mysteries Unlocked

By admin

Urs Treatis on Shadow Magic is a remarkable work that delves into the mysterious and often misunderstood realm of shadow magic. Authored by the highly regarded mage, Urs, this treatise offers an in-depth exploration of the powers and intricacies associated with shadow magic. From the very beginning, Urs establishes a solid foundation by providing a comprehensive definition of shadow magic. He explains that shadow magic is the manipulation and harnessing of the unseen energy that resides within shadows. This energy, he argues, is a potent force that can be used for both positive and negative purposes, depending on the intentions and knowledge of the practitioner. Throughout the treatise, Urs meticulously examines the various forms of shadow magic, including illusionary spells, manipulation of dark energy, and even the summoning and control of shadow creatures.


Long ago, three mages studied in this tower until one fell to the dark arts. He was urged to turn away from that evil magic, but he could not resist. And so he was banished.

Throughout the treatise, Urs meticulously examines the various forms of shadow magic, including illusionary spells, manipulation of dark energy, and even the summoning and control of shadow creatures. He delves into the mechanics of each form, analyzing the underlying principles and techniques required for mastery. One of the most intriguing aspects of Urs' treatise is his exploration of the moral and ethical implications associated with shadow magic.

I think you missed that part. That is intentional and using both kinds of magic is mentioned in the dialogues. Also, it was all discussed already: https://forums.beamdog.com/discussion/co. nt_1007869

Replacing the original kit would mean much content is lost, some additions (like additional spells he may learn later) stop making sense. There are talks triggered by picking specific HLA - those would also be purged.

This mod is complete. If we decide - with AionZ - that we want to make some kind of combination, then maybe, but neither of those mods was written to be used the way you describe it. For now, I have different priorities. Sorry.

Hi, I'm wondering if Foundling have some crossmod banters with your other BG2 NPC mods, like Verr'Sza and Hephernaan ?

There is some crossmod with Sirene and Will in this mod (if any of those were installed before Foundling)
Other crossmod talks are installed via G3 Crossmod Banter Pack. The up to date list is here:

It's been since I wrote any crossmod talks.

Thank you ! I forgot to check Crossmod Mod.

It will help me plan my next evil parties in BG2.

I was thinking about a Dark Moon monk charname, Viconia, Vienxay the Shadowmage and Foundling for a party themed around shadows, with the help of Dorn and Hephernaan for some fiendish support.

thank you for this great mod. The portrait is really nice and the NPC is "refreshing" as dark magic could be.

  • LEVIMM.itm is missing in oBG2 for L#fogra.cre and L#fogr2.cre
  • l#guar.cre had an non existent weapon on oBG2 : B3-12.itm
  • qd_multiclass.tpa should not be installed on oBG2

Does any of those mentioned issues breaks the game / prevents the mod from installing?

None of those issues prevent from installing the mod.

Concerning the ' qd_multiclass.tpa ' file, I have quote it before playing with your mod, so I don't know if it breaks something. However, it makes a mess with all the vanilla clab files on obg2.

Concerning the rest, it is clearly not game breaking. It as just some inconsistencies:
- the Misty guardian (L#guar.cre) as no weapon making her a little bit easier to fight.
- For LEVIMM.itm : i don't know what this item does - If it is protection against level drain, ring95 already do this. so it makes no difference at all

By the way, I don't know if it is intentionnal but, you could also use the animation of the 'HAG_NIGHT' on ee or the 'NIGHT_HAG' on oBG2 with Infinity animation (component 100) for L#fogr2.cre - witch is a grey HAG

Hi Lava. I really enjoyed Foundling: Between the Shades! I played v5.3 on BG2EE 2.6.6.0 and it ran flawlessly. Great, unique and challenging ending! I like that you have to do his quest immediately and that you can't park him somewhere (and then who knows when the player will actually do his quest). Lovely new maps and really great music!

No bugs, but I have a few minor suggestions for your consideration:
Can walk "through" the boulders that are in the snow in area L#FOU1
Clickable area of the portal (to take you into the final area) is small and was finicky to find the right click spot.
Foundlings main quest did not move into the "Done quest" list when I completed it. It stayed in the current quest list.
Ivory Witch's cave: the candle and the "fire font" in the middle graphic has a lot of black around them (at least on my machine).

Thanks again for another really good mod!

Thank you! I may look into this, but these won't be high on my list, because there are some updates that require sooner attention as they may cause "buggy situations".

However, I am glad you liked Foundling so much!

I would not recommend it to anyone looking for in-depth knowledge of shadow magic.
