Baldur’s Gate 3: How To Cure Gale’s Magic Item Affliction

gameranx.com:

If you’re not a magic-user in Baldur’s Gate 3, your only Wizard option is Gale. Gale is a critical party member in Act 1, but he has a major downside. If he joins your party, he’ll demand a constant supply of magical items. Due to a curse, Gale must essentially consume magic items — he’ll suck the magic properties out of them, making once-useful magic items totally inert.

There’s nothing worse than finding a new artifact and being interrupted by Gale because he desperately needs to suck another magic item dry. This occurs multiple times as you progress through Act 1, so we’re going to help — Gale only needs to absorb magic items three times total. To avoid wasting worthwhile items, here’s a quick list of magic items you can safely throw away. The following magic items are either completely worthless or have downsides that are so great they’re not worth keeping. These are the items you’ll want to sacrifice to Gale.
