I always come back to this scene as probably the single most successful example of how to make your villain look really, REALLY powerful. It's not the fireworks or the fact that yes, he's just blasting people apart. It's the fact that he's just doing it so casually and fast, like it's nothing.

From the low tier adventure of Baldurs Gate 1 and then you suddenly bear witness to a mage with power well beyond anything you dared to imagine. This is how you demonstrate the raw power of a high level mage. He could have used that same power to terminate your entire group in an instant only for the fact he needed you. He knew he needed to unlock your power but he was still having to think of how to do that.

The conflict is not so much that he is meant to have any redeeming quality. It's more that he has been overly punished for something long ago. The elves want him to be the bigger man and change despite the horrible things they have done to him. Perhaps Irenicus could have changed his ways. But instead, the elves and the Seldarine took everything from him so he is completely consumed in his thirst for revenge. His tragedy is that he behaves just as any man might. No one wants to die.

The engine at the time had an annoying limitation. There was no way to attach custom scripts to specific characters. To get around this the developers had to attach the script to an item. The item was then locked to the character. It was the same with Boo in Misc's inventory and Edwin's amulet. The items were locked to the characters to ensure that only that character would have the special scripted behavior and effects. I can't recall Imoen's belt, but assume it was the same.

The combination of those two spells let you kill practically ANYTHING in 2 insta casts.

He would have cast time stop without interruption to disable us with other magics like imprisonment , stun , maze or confusion . Also cowled Wizards were no match for him .
