Descriptor

From NWNWiki

A descriptor further categorizes a spell in some way. Some spells have more than one descriptor.

Most of these descriptors have no game effect by themselves, but they govern how the spell interacts with other spells, special abilities, unusual creatures, alignment, and so on

The descriptors are:

• Acid
• Air
• Chaotic
• Cold
• Darkness
• Death
• Earth
• Electricity
• Evil
• Fear
• Fire
• Force
• Good
• Language-dependent
  • A language-dependent spell uses intelligible language as a medium for communication. If the target cannot understand or cannot hear what the caster of a language-dependant spell says the spell fails.
• Lawful
• Light
• Mind-affecting
  • A mind-affecting spell works only against creatures with an Intelligence score of 1 or higher.
• Sonic
• Water
