The way that spellcasters fail after taking damage has been externalized to this file.

In BG2EE we have:

2DA V1.0
0
BEHAVIOR             VALUE
CHECK_MODE           0

Known values for CHECK_MODE are:

0 ⟶ Any damage a spellcaster takes will cause them to fail their spellcasting.
- To be precise, spellcasters can't be disrupted by damage if they are facing SSW, SWW, NWW, NNW, NNE, NEE, SEE, or SSE.
  - This happens because the disruption code is only checked if the caster is in the correct orientation to face the target. SEQ_DAMAGE rounds a creature's orientation down to the nearest even direction, causing the caster to momentarily not face the target, making the check fail. Here's an example:
1 ⟶ Spell disrupted if (1d20 - 1) + Luck > Spell Level + Damage Taken
2 ⟶ Spell disrupted if (1d20 - 1) + (Constitution / 2) - 5 > Spell Level + 15
3 ⟶ Spell disrupted if (1d20 - 1) + Luck > Spell Level + 15
4 ⟶ Spell disrupted if (1d20 - 1) + (Constitution / 2) - 5 > Spell Level + Damage Taken
(After this it should repeat based on whether BIT0 and BIT1 are set)

Bug: CHECK_MODE values greater than or equal to 1 are bugged (since all those inequality symbols should be < instead of >).
As a result, you might want to stick with the default behavior (CHECK_MODE=0) until this bug is fixed.

Note:

Constitution and Luck use their aggregate/current scores, not necessarily the base values.
Unlike other dice affected by Luck, this one does not cap it at its normal min/max values.
- +/−50 Luck is +/−50 to the roll.
