Most powerful spells?

[Turin]

This game has really a wonderful wide range of spells, yet ther are a few that are so powerful, with such a huge benefit, that you see them used every game.
So I thought a list would be nice and those spells that show up too often will hopefully get a nerf in future patches.

So here is my list:

early game: (lvl 1-4)
1. Mistform (best buff spell in the game)
2. flaming arrows (better than a lvl 9 fire blessing for just 1 gem)
3. paralyze ( very cheap and very good at killing SCs)

mid game: (lvl 5-7)
1. wrathful skies (need to kill an army? here you go!)
2. bind ice devil (cheap and one of the best scs)
3. forge of the ancients (quite nice to build all the toys)

late game: (lvl 8-9)
1. wish (well can´t really beat this spell)
2. manifestation (very cheap commander assasination)
3. earth attack (see above)

So please post your lists

1. Communion Master
2. Communion Slave

midgame -
1. Communion Master
2. Communion Slave

late game -
1. Communion Master
2. Communion Slave

Early - Almost anything that scales up with power if you have right pretender.


Mid - Quickness. It really starts to rock in midgame, and in lategame the big foozles will need many casters anyway.

Other combos, like Communion master/slave + Summon Earthpower + attack spells.

Late - all the bombs that "should be nerfed", inluding Ghost Riders and Wish, plus everything that will surprise your enemy.

Phoenix Pyre
Bind Arch Devil + Phoenix Pyre = fun

If you're looking for _funny_ devastating comboes, then the absolute funniest has to be -

(now guess, which combo could annihilate a ~400-strong invading army, half of them hoplites and hypaspists, the rest being mainly Vine Men/Ogres and Claymen, with some flagellants, shortbows and 2 elephants thrown in - when you only have 1 Lamia Queen, 9 Black Dryads, less than a dozen harpies and even less Manikins to defend your province? And I really mean annihilate: I have more fingers than I need to count the enemies who survived that battle)

[Graeme Dice]

That combo would be haunted forest + swarm.
