Overhaul Games recently released another informational update about the new NPCs players can choose to join their team in the upcoming Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition. This time the focus turned to Neera the Wild Mage, with a new short story about the character and several audio samples of her voice. BGEE is an updated version of Bioware's fantasy role playing game set in the Forgotten Realms. The game will feature an enhanced version of the Infinity Engine, the Tales of the Sword Coast expansion pack, new adventures, and new party members.

"No! It was only supposed to be the illusion of fire!"

The flaming ball leaped from Neera's hands as if offended by her words.

"Stop!" she cried, feeling foolish even as she spoke. She focused her will on the flame, trying to control its motion with her thoughts.

Frixis flung a ray of frost at Moth, extinguishing the flames on the pixie's wings but sending the poor fey to the classroom floor, teeth chattering with cold.

The screams of young elves filled the classroom as students dashed away from the uncontrolled ball of fire. Only Darvoth stood still, his wide eyes locked on Neera as the fiery sphere rolled toward him. "Don't, Neera," he said. "I'm sorry I laughed at you."
