I really like the weird multipath spells like Moss Body and the various acid spells. If I'm playing a nation with native mages that can cast the weird spells, I'm almost always researching towards using them early in battle. Many times people know boring ol' Blade Wind is coming and prepare for it.

The Conjuration site-search spells are sometimes all you need if you're a water-heavy or astral-heavy nation. This makes it easy to go straight for the big summons and not worry about Thaummaturgy 2 , which is usually high in priority for most nations I play.
