This spell does NOTHING if you're in the Shadow Thief stronghold in BG2 and attack someone. You will be killed INSTANTLY no matter what you do (AC -9 and covered by protection spells including Magic Mirror?  Nope, they do NOTHING.  You're killed with a single strike in the back no matte by an apparently "Almighty Magic" thief (no one is that powerful in the game, not even the dragons).

The game is absolutely broken anywhere it "wants" to be. I've killed people that run off with a disintegration spell that are meant to run out of the room and show up later and even though I turned them into dust, they show up anyway becuase the came is scripted for them to show up and no one ever thought you might do something like that and didn't account for it or leave dead ends in the game (e.g. kill Teos in the Planar Sphere and no one comes to get you despite what he says and the plot just hangs there). Like a bad Choose Your Own Adventure book that forgot to fill in some of the choice pages, BG2 shouldn't consider itself D&D because that crap would never happen in the real game. The programmers should have considered "what happens" if you kill someone in the game at any given time and at least dealt with it in some very basic manner rather than have them reappear, etc.
