you still didnt give really enough information for me to make an informed decision, such as the following:
How powerfull is the werewolf? (In a battle with just the dagger and no spells, about how often would I be expected to survive? (note, survive, not nessicarily 'win'))
How much "additional" damage does the shocking grasp, fists of iron, etc give? same with the +to hit with twist fate...
BUT, in the absence of this information, this is what I'd do:
If I am severely underpowered vs the werewolf, then either Fists of Iron or Shocking Grasp, as even if the initial effects dont imobalize the werewolf, there is still the additional benifits to the dagger.
If we are on basically equal footing, then Slime, as this doubles my odds vs the werewolf in the long run.
If both of us are so weak that a small wind would blow us over, then Tangle Vines, because that first hit is the killer.... or maybe Twist fate.. maybe that if the werewolf is weak but hard to hit.
Note that at *NO* time would I ever pick Decay, as having the werewolf run away is worse than paralying him, and there are no benifits to the dagger...
probably wouldnt pick burning hands either, unless for some reason the werewolf was suseptable to fire.... as the bonuses by that spell are weaker than Shocking Grasp and Fists of Iron.
Okay, end of over-analysis.
