    From its description "the priest can enchant temporarily pebbles and turns them into missles then he can hurl them against enemies. It is very effective vs undead". What I want to know is:

    (1) what kind of pebbles, can they be bullets or arrows/bolts or darts ?

    (2) how temporarily is it, one day ?

    (3) how to hurl them, with bows/crossbow or sling or hands ?

    Using the spell fires a projectile at the chosen opponent, doing 1-4 damage. That's it. There's no player input required or possible.

    Yes, the spell is pretty useless.

    Tal, this spell is very powerful in IWD IIRC.

    Look here for details.

    You cast this spell at a target and it throws a srone at him. It does 3d4 (3-12 dmg) instantly and no to hit roll is required, it always hits! This spell is indeed very powerful for a first lvl spell, even better than Magic Missile at low levels.

    Against undead (zombies, skeletons and the like)this spell is one of the best to use, as it does DOUBLE damage, 6-24 dmg is killer in such low levels, really handy when you are in Valley of Shadow, for instance! Use this spell on your enemies and watch them suffer!

    That's really odd... a gigantic change in the damage done from the BG1 & BG2 versions. No wonder I remember using it in IWD, but seeing its BG2 description I couldn't figure out why. Apparently BIS thought it was useless in BG1 too... :shake:
