"Detect Evil" spell description bug

[Guest AnonymousHero]

The spell description for Detect Evil says that it is level 1, but when scribed it actually goes into spellbook level 2. Not sure which level it should be since it doesn't actually appear in the original BG2 manual.

 

(I am running BGT-WeiDU with G4 Fixpack B4, but IIRC the bug is present in the original BG2/ToB.)

Yep, confirmed. The mage version is actually using the priest spell description (strref #12160) rather than the mage one (strref#12219). The Detect Evil scroll is also using the priest spell description.

The Dispel Magic mage scroll had the same issue (previously fixed), so I decided to review the rest of the common spells between mages and priests: Animate Dead, Confusion, Dispel Magic, Farsight, Finger o' Death, Hold Person, Know Alignment, Protection from Evil, Protection from Fire, Remove Curse, and Symbol Death/Fear/Stun. No other description issues were found.
