Not sure if this is a problem with exult or with me since I never played all the way through BG using the original engine. I've killed the Hydra on Ambrosia and am trying to get the Cadellite. There's a magically locked door behind the Hydra that the Magic Unlock spell refuses to work on (it just makes that noise indicating a spell failed). I can easily take the brute force to get it (turn on hack mover and rip the door off it's hinges , but thought I'd try and find out if this was the correct behavior as I'd like to play the game through correctly. I've posted my savegame file right outside the door in question at http://k-n-t.dhs.org/exult/exult02bg.sav . If anyone has any suggestions that would be great. Or if not, hope this is useful to the developers (kudos to the developers on a great job!). If you respond to this, please CC my email as I may not notice otherwise (don't visit this board very frequently).
Well even though that save game wasn't where ya said it was (it was in alagners workshop I teleported over to the Hydra and tried the spell on the door, and it worked
So... I dunno. Sorry I wasn't much help, hehe.

Hmm - must have grabbed the wrong file. Looks like the problem has resolved itself though anyway. I updated to the latest CVS snapshot, and was still having the same problem, but I quit playing and have been working on other things for the last couple of hours, and I just went back to figure out which save game it was in, and the magic unlock is working now - go figure. Thanks for trying it out though.

I've got a problem in Ambrosia too, there is a strange kind of weather there that blocks all magic attempt. In order to get in the secret case there behind magic fields, you need the dispel magic spell but since there is that strange weather I can't use my magic. The trick I found was to cast the simple weather spell somewhere where I can use my magic to make it rain and come back to Ambrosia quickly. The problem is that in Exult, the anti magic weather activates itself even if it is raining. So I can't get to that secret cave anymore :/
