I was gushing at Ballz about blindness early. I think it's one of those sleeper spells people just look over. 90% of even late game thugs/SCs can have huge problems when their attack, AND defense drop to 0. Makes it much easier for units to land critical strikes, and makes it much harder for that SC to drop units swarming it. It's nearly as good a paralyze, and every one of your mages can spam it easily.
