The Brick

==Description==
==Gameplay==
* A successful save vs. spell negates both the spell failure and the extra damage on hit.
*As an Offensive damage spell, the aura of Wild Magic can be blocked by the Cloak of Mirroring except on the wielder of The Brick.
*The Brick's aura of wild magic works like this: every 6 seconds, a 10% chance is rolled for each nearby creature (friend or foe) to apply a 100% certainty of wild surging to that creature for 7 seconds (no save, bypasses magic resistance and any spell protections, spell power/level = 0 aka the max possible, meaning it affects liches and rakshasa).
*The roll doesn't happen when you cast a spell (unlike a Wild Mage randomly getting a surge) and you can see when you're affected by the surging effect via an icon on your character's portrait.
*Interestingly, the rolls happen four times as frequently if the character holding the Brick is hasted, effectively increasing odds of applying the surging effect from 10% to ~34% over the same period.
*Furthermore, one may also utilize clones (from Vhailor's Helm, Mislead, Project Image, Simulacrum or Shadow Twin) to increase the odds of applying the wild surge effect. And that can also, of course, be combined with the aforementioned haste effect.
*Here are some examples of odds of applying the effect in any single round: 10% normally, 19% with one clone without haste, ~34% when hasted without clones, ~57% with one clone and haste, ~72% with two clones and haste, ~81% with three clones and haste. This means that Cleric / Mages and Fighter / Mages can all easily (via casting Haste + using Vhailor's Helm) apply the wild surge effect more often than not (over 50% chance) very early on in BG2EE. And more classes (like Stalkers, Thieves with Use Any Item or Bards) can do so at higher levels. Out of all of these, Stalkers might be one of the best choices, since they're less reliant on actually casting spells (after all, the wild surge aura affects both friend and foe alike).
