I started a kensai and though I'd dualclass it to a mage.

The problem is, that when I dualclass, I can only wear weapons mages can wear, all the kensai bonuses you've gotten by the levels are gone and basically it is as if it forgets I'm a kensai. Could it be because I'm over level 30?

I have had previous kensai/mage characters where this did not happen. And a member of my party, (from some mod), a girl that seems to have taken quite a liking to yoshimo, is a kensai/mage which can still use katanas and alike.

How should I proceed to make me into the indestructible kensai/mage I want to be? :o

The reason for your inability to use Kensai abilities is explained in-game.

Until your character becomes a level higher in their new profession, the previous class you dueled from will be inactive. As such all bonuses and abilities of that class are deactivated until in such example:

Dualed Fighter lvl 6 to mage lvl 1 = inactive fighter class
lvl 7 mage + lvl 6 fighter = Fighter class reactivated, all abilities restored (except the slots of weapons available, that always remains the same after the first change)

I highly recommend against dualing above the halfway marker for the experience cap in BG2.
This is not to do with mods, but just the way on how the dual-class system works.

I hope this clears things up a bit. :)

So basically, if I am a lvl 20 kensai and lvl 21 mage, I will be able to use my katanas? :)
