Can you help me find a quick reference card for SoA?

    The game I just got doesn't come with a quick reference card which I find very frusterating when I'm trying to guess what spell I'm using. I checked through the games section of SP and I was only able to find a quick reference card for ToB which only showed the extra stuff in ToB. What I really need is a PRINTABLE list of the spells and icons for SoA. Can someone help me find it? Did I miss it somewhere on this site?

    Thanks :)

    I don't think there is such a thing. A list of the spells, yes, but not the icons. I guess I just learned the icons alongside picking which spells to memorize. I'll look into making one, though. :)

    A list of what the spells do might help a little better. letting your mouse hover over a particular spell should bring up it's name for you i believe. But then I could be remembering a different game at this point. It's been a very very long day for me.

    Hovering won't do it, but a right click will. Hovering may bring up the name, though, especially on the main game screen from the Cast Spell button.

    :( Well thanks anyway. I was hoping that I had just missed some avenue in my search. If you do make one Fel, let me know. I will be your biggest fan :D .

    O.K. I think I'll go play some BG2 for a while now.

    @ Starwalker - You are right. If you let the icon hover over the symbol for a little while the name of the item does appear. I just discovered that.

    Yeah. But you can't look them up in game while your trying to cast them which is a bummer. Because with only the name if your not familiar with them all you don't really know what it will do.

    Is this the reference card you were talking about? It is the manual, so it should have all of the pictures... if not, I am sorry.

    The SoA manual doesn't have the icons, and the ToB manual and reference card only have the new ToB-introduced spells as she said in her first post. I'm already working on an SoA spell reference card, and I'll include page numbers for the description in the manual.

    Hmm, sorry, I thought I recalled seeing those pesky pictures in the manual... oh well.

    I'll scan it and put it up with the next site update. Might take a while though...

    @Tal:
    Um, scan what? I don't remember there being an SoA reference card with my game, and despite looking through my game stuff, I still couldn't find any.

    There wasn't? Hmm... well, I just assumed there was. It came with pretty much every other IE game. I don't have my BG2 stuff handy to check...
