Baldur's Gate Level 1 Arcane / Mage Magic Spell Guide

Trying my hand at an arcane magic spell guide for the classic PC game, Baldur's Gate.

This video covers Level 1 mage spells.

An audio only version is here -- https://soundcloud.com/user-485786824...

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)
