Planar Sphere Mod! Incredible!

Remove all ads!

This is one crazy and cool mod! It makes Planar Sphere sort of a school. Apprentices and tutors come and paractice all day long. It is funny.

I did some minor quests BUT then a major one:

I got an artifact from a Red Wizard gang, and my cowled wizard friends tried to breach the wards woven by Mystra. They did.

A mysterious sorcerer came out of the artifact. Cowled fools had just set him free! He killed them.

His intention was to destroy the planes itself, by casting a spell and bringing all planes to same existence. His power is vast and rivals gods themselves as he knows to tap the power from source, or some kind of thing. Gods fear him.

Elminster came to fight him. And sorcerer destroyed him! Then Khelben came. After a heavy magical duel he died too! WTF?

Sorcerer gloated over his victory and stole Mystra's divinity. A mortal Mystra came and gave me a quest.

NOTICE:I know, Mystra should be long dead after times of troubles but...

So I went to Government District to wrestle a magical key from mad sorcerer's assistant.

On my way encountered the Demi Lich of Kazaa. (sounds familiar eh?) Killed him for scroll of Kazaa, which transformes a mage to a lich permanently. Cool but drawbacks are great so I ignored it.

Battling unique Pain Elementals and a Night Hag (they were tough) I entered Government building. Six globes of magic continously zapped us with heavy evocation magic of all kind. And MAGIC himself attacked us. Yep, schools of magic came alive and we fought. I fought spells of Abjuration, Divination, Necromancy etc. who used his school. Worst was Alteration who casted Time Stops and Disintegrates, Flesh to Stones. I killed them all. Acquired the magical key.

On my way the sorcerer summoned 2 Mariliths and one enslaved Planetar to fight us. TOUGH!

Went back to PS, and Lord Ao himself came to talk to me! WHOA! Cool! He said even overgods were unable to defeat the power of the unnamed Sorcerer. He wanted me to finish him. As usual.

PS was full with Magic Elementals, who use an attack called BREACH WAVE. Extremely painful to mages. Summoned Planetar(s) did the trick.

I encountered Shade of VECNA! This got more and more interesting as I battled him. WHOA he was tough! I managed to kill him and was rewarded with Eye of Vecna, and Cloak of Vecna. Eye was a one-use item, my DS plucked his own eye and put it, which gave massive bonuses at the cost of 2 CHA and HP. Oh and Vecna gave 500K XP! Cloak is even better than Balduran's!

Anyway, as I reached the final, Lady of Pain came! She was worried too. With her help I used my own magic to destrot the magic key which foiled the sorcerer and imprisoned him within his plane. But he was not killed. I had to confront him and kill him as he was weakened now. Or all universe and planes would be destroyed. Sure...I entered the portal and confronted the insane sorcerer who killed Elminster and Khelben and made the overgods scared.

The battle started. What the hell he was doing! He casted Oblivion Shield which made him immune to EVERYTHING and kept casting strange, unique magic I have NEVER heard before.

He killed 5 of my party, my DS was saved because he had all resistances %100+ and Spell Immunity:Abjuration, Divination, Evocation.

Just at the moment his shield was down, I casted a Chain Contingency and put 3 Insect Plagues on it. They swarmed him, he was so annoyed! He could cast more magic though, after lots of deadly incentation I managed to kill him. (after countless tries. I play on insane. ONE spell of him does 160+ damage and ignores MR, area effect, its name was Melathium's rain of something, a comet.) He was DEAD! WOW! I saved the universe! As he died he gave a small portion of his power to me. Each party member gained 1.500.000 QUEST XP! (we saved the planes afterall) and I gained a new ability:Sorcery???

Anyway, after HEAVY level ups we came back. Lord Ao imprisoned the soul of the sorcerer in abattle once and for all.

LAdy Pain thanked and gave me a very spiffy +6 two handed sword, which she dropped from her face.

Mystra came, ressurected dear Elminster and Khelben, she also blessed the party:+2 permanent save vs spells. NEAT! She said I could be one of her chosen but my blood couldn't allow it.

That was it. This, simply was:INCREDIBLE! I had so fun! ANd I was utterly shocked and gasped frequently. You don'T often see and talk with Ao and Lady of Pain. Or face a power even overgods feel scared. (sorta) Sure this was a powerhorse and powergamer mod, but I had no qualms with it.

Ah, I almost forgot, that sorcerer's loot is incredible: A glove which gives +1 spell per level, immunity to lots of things, decreases spell casting time and increases spell duration, casts Energy Drain and Spellstrike once per day. His mighty staff, Staff of Sorcery, gives +4 AC and saves, lots of immunities, casts Chain Contingency and Improved Disintegration....

My DS got ability:Sorcery. It has a very long casting time, it is like a ritual. When completed huge explosions occur and does 100 damage to all enemies nearby. No MR or resistance. 100 damage simply. Nice.

So what do you think about this mod? It is great but perhaps not for everybody. It is very cool for real powerplayers like me though. Just wanted to share with you....Wanna try it?

 

Sounds very power gamish, but i guess it would be nice to try out. Would you mind giving the link?

 

Sure, it is by all means powergaming and I guess I spoiled most of the fun by explaining it. Here is the link:

Find it within QUEST BASED MODS line. Have fun!

 

I rewrote the dialogue for that into proper English and gave people portraits.

My one claim to modding fame. It's a nice mod, especially since it fills the planar sphere with life. It feels like a proper stronghold now.
