It creates an invisible hand that can be used to manipulate and interact with objects. Since Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 is set in the Dungeons & Dragons universe, it\u2019s no surprise that Mage Hand is one of the many usable spells, but it can only be learned by five classes\u2014Bard, Eldritch Knight, Sorcerer, Warlock, and Wizard. I\u2019ve used it on my Warlock many times, and as someone who is deeply invested in the Dungeons & Dragons lore, seeing it come to life with Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s breathtaking visuals never gets old. How to use Mage Hand in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 If you\u2019re playing one of the classes mentioned above and have progressed to the point where you\u2019ve learned Mage Hand, you can use it the same way as other spells\u2014by activating it on your hotbar. This can be done by clicking on it or pressing the assigned hotkey. Related: Should you use Illithid Powers in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3? As for how to use it effectively, Mage Hand can be used to open doors, pull levers, retrieve items from chests outside of battles or disarm traps, shove enemies into traps, and throw objects at enemies in battles. The list goes on. It\u2019s incredibly useful and versatile. I love using it to throw bombs at unsuspecting enemies. Not only does it deal a lot of damage, but it confuses and distracts them, allowing my characters to approach them with ease. Mage Hand is one of those spells that let you be creative. It\u2019s not particularly strong or overpowered, but it can make things easier by giving your character an extra hand (pun intended). Have fun with it and don\u2019t hesitate to explore all the different ways you can use it.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/bg3-mage-hand.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/926925"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2123"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=926925"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/926925\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":926947,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/926925\/revisions\/926947"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/926930"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=926925"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=926925"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=926925"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=926925"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=926925"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=926925"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=926925"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
