Unable to use Aerie mage spells

[deadcow_]

I noticed that Aerie may use only priest spells. Mage spells are under "Cast spells" but grayed out. What might it be?

Remove armor or shield from Aerie when you want to use her as a mage.

The shield shouldn't matter, just armor. I know it should but I've had her cast spells carrying one. Same with Imoen (dual class thief to mage) carrying a buckler.

Find her Elven Chain. I have no idea where it is, but i'm pretty sure you can get it kinda early in the game.

Skarmaen Alibakkar in Trademeet. After you deal with the Shadow Druids and Genies, he (and Lady Lilith Luraxol) will offer you a a quest to find the Mantle of Waukeen. Bring it to one of them, and not Lord Logan, for a set.

thanks voe,

I also read that Hear Dalis has a suit, i didn't recall that though. But still if he does recruit him, take his armor and kick him., Though him and arie are really interesting together if that suits you better.

You could also just keep her in robes and use spells liek shield and armor spells to protect her, between mage and cleric spells, you shouldn't have any issue keeping her alive.

There are a couple of other sets of elven available but I cannot recall where. Other options would be buying the "robe of the good archmage" available in Trademeet at the armorer's shop (very expensive), but Ribald has a set of AC 4 and AC 3 bracers for sale. Much more affordable option. Those are equivalent to regular splint or plate mail armor respectively. combined with a good magic shield and Aerie could have an AC of -4 or -5.
