Are 'trick' spells viable?

Well, there is technically Nether Bolt. For the research-impaired. Such as undead Ermor. Both Soul Gate and Ashen Empire have good access to astral/death, but extremely slow research, and both have better schools to research than Evocation.

We are running in circles in here. I mentioned Nether Bolt in my original post!

I never used it much but now that i consider it at least Rage seems a really nice spell for anti-SC duty.

Imagine you want a f9 bless and you have a phönix pretender. In friendly dominion you could then use the phönix as a suicide rager .
Unfortunately there are no summonable immortal fire mages .
If there were this spell would be extremely cool.

But Boron, you have not been playing Dominions for half a year?

and that phoenix could have a mega fire shield.
