Nature's Beauty, Baldur's Gate 2



A 7th circle Druid spell, Nature's Beauty is one of the most powerful disablers in Baldur's Gate 2 due to its ability to insta-slay or inflict no-save, AoE Blindness. In addition, the spell does not break invisibility status.

Note that Cernd gains a single casting of Nature's Beauty at 14th level or 1.5 million XP. Jaheira can also eventually cast the spell.

  • Nature's Beauty
  • Illusion/Phantasm 
  • Sphere: Elemental
  • Level: 7
  • Range: Caster
  • Duration: Instant 
  • Casting Time: 6
  • Area of Effect: 5' radius
  • Saving Throw: Neg

When this spell is cast, the caster appears to undergo a remarkable transformation.  The caster becomes the very ideal of beauty, for a male, this is usually a nymph, for a female, the image varies.  As with a nymph, anyone viewing the disguised caster must make a saving throw vs. spells (+3 bonus) or die of longing for the denied illusion.  Even if the saving throw is successful, hapless viewers of the transformed druid are all instantly smitten with permanent blindness (until dispelled).  The transformation is instantaneous, but lasts only seconds, affecting those near the caster (excluding fellow party members).
