VoDT is supposed to be a low level-scenario. But there is a door (in GIFTS cave), that opens only with a tool use ability of 25. The Vahnatai mage sells spells for a mage level of 10. Why? It's impossible to open that door or to buy these spells, if you are only beginners.
As a curious cat I played it again at higher level ... the general thrill faded away, because all the monsters were suddenly below my party's abilities.

I'm wondering, if beta-testers criticized that inequality of level. Ok, it's not that important. It does not bother the main quest. I just asked me, why Jeff puts these impossibilities ..

For the spell, it's fully possible to get a mage level of 10.

btw: did somebody get it open?

It's possible by cheating, but there's nothing behind it. Oh well.

I looked at the place beyond that door with the editor, and there's nothing there. I think if they're going to put a door there that's that hard to get past they should at least put something there. And, I was able to buy the vannatai's spells the first time through

I'm kind of interested in figuring out how to teach 3rd level Magic Vision to my mage. I really like being able to find everything with it. Alternatively are there any basic items that allow flying? If so, what's the item # so I can get it via the character editor?

I think they might have had the Orb of Thralni in an earlier beta, but they took it out. If you want an item that will let you fly I'm afarid you're stuck making your own.
