    How do you use the Spell Immunity spell? In what circumstances and with what kinds of enemies? And which immunities do you use for those circumstances/enemies? I need to learn how to use this spell and I'm a little lost with it.

    Abjuration to stop Imprisonment (or the Kangaxx version); very handy. IIRC it also blocks Remove and Dispel Magic, though the more specific spells (breach) are -not- stopped, and spell-protection-zappers will zap it.

    Divination to stop True Sight. Necromancy to stop ADHW and a number (not all!) of the kill spells.

    Yeah, improved invisibility and spell immunity: divination is a fun trick.

    There are different ways of using it.Divination is a good choice to maintain good illusions against enemy spellcasters who cast True Sıght at the start of the combat.I read something about a usage of this spell.This is considered a litle trick,so try it in your own risk!

    In the last part of the game(hell) in selfishness test,you lose dexterity score to accomplish the task in good way.Casting Spell immunity:Divination just before crossing the door that takes dexterity from you makes you immune to the effect,but you will still be able to solve it in good way.You can also do this in the dream where you need to sacrifice a stat.Just cast DİFFERENT types of immunities and see if it protects you against the effect?Game handles these stat drainings as a type of spell(I guess)and casting immunities of different types MAY make you immune!

    In different mod battles, it's possible to become blinded. Nasty. Immunity: Illusion helps.

    Charm, Horror, and similar effects are my worst fear in AD&D games. But I wonder if Immunity: Enchantment is ever worth it. The deadliest spells might still be Abjuration (Dispel Magic, Imprisonment) and Conjuration (Horrid Wilting, Power Word Kill).

    Basically...Spell Immunity is one of the BEST spells in the game, especially because its such a low level spell, considering its usefulness.

    Most of the basics have been covered here...but allow me to remind you that Spell Immunity:Abjuration covers about 90% of the spells which remove your spell defences. So, if you're playing a Sorcerer or Mage...casting Spell Immunity:Abjuration blocks Dispel Magic, Remove Magic, Breach, Pierce Magic, Pierce Shield, Imprisonment etc etc etc.

    Gotta love Spell Immunity.

    I've been having problems with this spell too. I cast it, but no menu or anything pops up. What's going on? What should happen? And when can you legitimately get this spell? I have TOB installed, could that be affecting it? Or any mods? I have the patch installed, btw.

    Ravynn, try to use "Autopause: Spell Cast" in the options. This way, right after you cast your Spell Immunity, eight icons pop up in the lower part of the screen.

    These are immunities from different Schools in alphabetical order. Immunity from Abjuration is the first icon, Immunity from Divination is the third and so on. After you click on the icon, un-pause the game, and your character finishes the spell. Then the ugly white globe envelops your character and voila ! You have it. :)

    Make sure you don't accidentally tell your spellcaster to move or do anything else between the incantation and menu selection or else the spell will be canceled.
