Notes
- Despite the description, the mage hand doesn't actually seem to be able to use Thieves' Tools to pick locks as of patch 6 / hotfix 20.
- This is probably the best tool to scout safely, as long are there are no creature with
, which is fairly rare. One can scout an entire area thanks to the Mage Hand's 
which makes it able to go to places otherwise very difficult to reach, as long as one can make the camera see the ground level of that place. - An effective use of the hand is to use it to throw objects or potions in battle. Dropping an item on the ground for the hand to throw does not cost an action.
Bugs
- If cast near a party member with See Invisibility, the mage hand may instantly be Seen and lose invisibility. This only happens the moment its cast, ungrouping and casting farther away from the See Invisibility party member will avoid this.
