Baldur's Gate Level 9 + HLA Arcane / Mage Magic Spell Guide

This is the ninth and final installment of my arcane magic spell guide for the classic PC game, Baldur's Gate.

This video covers Level 9 (NINE) mage spells, as well as the mage high level abilities (HLAs) that take up a LEvel 9 spell slot.

This series will take an analytical / rule / power game oriented approach to discussing the strengths and weaknesses, and use cases, for each spell in Baldur's Gate, BG2:SOA, and TOB. The spells are assessed across the entire saga and mainly using the unmodded Enhanced Edition releases (so no SCS, although I do touch on SCS frequently)
