Gwendolyne Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 (edited) Spellhold Studios Saradas Magic for BG2 has been updated to v2.0.0 and is now available with macOS and Linux support. This mod introduces a new NPC, Saradas the archmage, who interacts in various ways with the Bhaalspawn's group. In Shadows of Amn, he is a non-playable NPC that offers many services to the Bhaalspawn's group. You can find him in the temple of Lathander, in the Temple District of Athkatla. In addition to having several exclusive dialogues that take place as the plot takes shape, his store is worth the visit. In addition, Saradas is an artifacts collector. If you find any ancient artifact, you can bring it to him, and he will enchant it for you, granting magic properties to the item. In Throne of Bhaal Saradas is finally a recruitable NPC! You can summon him through the Fate Spirit in your pocket plane. He is a human Priest of Lathander dual-classed to Mage. Version 2.0.0 offers a backward native classic BG2:ToB compatibility, is EET compatible, and includes many fixes.
