Arcanum curse dealy

Well I dusted off arcanum and started playing again, this time intent on finishing.
However, it seems that one of my NPCs (that dwarf mage guy) keeps having a pentagram appear underneath him and then he gets knocked out. It seems like some kind of a curse, but I have no idea what triggered it. Furthermore, even spending a lot of time resting, trying to dispel the curse, etc. it seems it's still there. I have no idea how to get this damn thing off, and otherwise my dwarf is useless. Please, help me!

Evil items. I don't which one, but some weapon causes random fire damage to wielder every time it's used. Generally speaking, when a burning pentagram appears it means you've gone bad, like it or not
Only bad guys use evil items.

So... was it an item? If so, what was it called?

It might just be that he tried to summon a fire elemental and didn't have enough mana.

You get knocked out if you don't have enough mana/stamina/fatigue whatever for a spell?

Your follower is using a hexed item.
Unequip him of everything he wears and ID everything.
Oh the problem is that followers can pick up items and wear them.
So mayby you did not give to your followers UNID items but they can do it themshelves.

Aye. And i'm assuming it happens to jormund alot since he has the dwarf mage penalty. (2x fatigue on spells)

Ach, well of course... When the blue thingy goes down you're knocked down, it seems. It's been too long since I last played Arcanum.
But I guess it was all about evil / hexed / whatever items, because he atoga hasn't been back yet
