    My character became possessed, or so I surmise. Her Alignment always goes to 100 percent evil no matter what she does.

    This started when she learned the Hell Gate or Demon Summoning spell. As soon as she learned this spell her magic went to 100 percent and she started becoming evil.

    Lest you think this is a bug, I think not. I tried this a few times. The first time she was wearing a couple of items which had -20 alignment "bonuses" or curses (whatever), such as a Shield and a helmet (I forget the names of them). Anyway when she learned the spell wearing this stuff this happened. When she was not wearing this stuff it does not happen.

    I decided to just play out the game as an evil character. Since it stays at 100 percent evil I commit all the evil acts I want and only use evil or neutral followers.

    She's wearing the Helm of Darkness, or some such name, that you retrieved from the castle in Ashbury.

    She was wearing that at the time that I learned the spell, but I then took it off. Nevertheless her allignment went to -100 and has stayed there. She is not currently using any items which have a negative influence on her allignment, yet it goes to -100.

    Also note that magic went to 100 when this occurred. When I did the same thing without wearing those items, her magic skill went to 84. Hence something is afoot.

    The Helm confers Magic Apptitude as well as evil alignment. Even when you remove it from your follower, their alignment and MA stay changed. If you put the helmet back on them, their alignment and MA shift again, until, finally, your follower is pure evil and pure Magick.
    Oh, and welcome to the forum! :wavey:
