The Mother of Magic is a prominent figure in Baldur’s Gate 3, despite never appearing in some players’ playthroughs. As the goddess of magic, Mystra is a powerful deity who controls the Weave, the raw material for all magic. Gale was once a lover and chosen of Mystra, who taught Gale how to further manipulate the Weave before he sought to claim a piece of it for himself to hold the goddess’s affections.
