Larian Studios Forums Divine Divinity (English) Help/Tips/Tricks How do you deal with no-magic areas?

You don't need four levels of pickpocket to join the thieves guild, just one, IIRC.

I just played though the stormfist castle bit with my mage the other day, and it was a huge pain, since I forgot that I couldn't use any skills. I drank all my strength potions, lured the orcs one at a time and finished them off with a melee attack (I had the bat of striking equipped), quaffing restoration potions all the while. I left the deatknight for last, and it took a while, but it worked. Sorry, I don't know of a loophole around the no-magic areas.

The finale, however, does not disable magic. The original unpatched game had a bug that caused a crash IIRC when magic was used, but this has been corrected in later patches.
