Breaking the rules, but:

Opposition works against mindless magical constructs, whilst soul slay doesn't.

I think that Spirit Curse just inflicts a curse. Its utility seems clear - it's a 0 research way of cursing an enemy SC.

I cast gift of nature's bounty in a mid-sized SP game a while back and went from making a few thousand profit every turn to making over 12000. The income chat showed a dramatic jump, bigger than that I usually get on the gem income chart when I cast a gem-producing global. In summary, if you can keep the spell up, it is awesome.

Stellar focus could be ok in SP, I guess - I usually end up with all five global slots anyway.

The most powerful death touch spell deals massive damage. I don't think it's changed since Doms2 where I lost an air queen SC to it on the second turn of combat. Not something you'd script, but it can be very effective if the spell AI makes a clever choice.

Off the top of my head, I think that I might agree with the OP about healing touch - that provisionally gets my vote, but I'd really need to check the spell manual to be sure.

Summon uh... i forgot what it's called.

It's the "make a Frankenstein" air/death spell, that creates a stronger zombie. One whole turn of mage time for one stupid zombie.

I still use it in single for kicks, but it's very inefficient and the unit it makes all but useless.

[right, lightning rod, book of Igor. It's still useless

Ah. That's not breaking the rules, then, because you're correcting my facts. I now know what Opposition is good for.

You could've used the spell that raises 100 at a time...

The death gems I would have spent to cast it were always much more important than chaff. But I would have liked to trade air gems for death gems as Ashen Ermor though...

I suppose all this to say that I think the spell can be very useful but only in very limited circumstances.

Yeah, I wonder if Norfleet is still here somewhere reading this just now? Naaaah!

In combination with black death or tidal wave i use raevenfeast in mp games sometimes. Playing LA ermor helps too.

The spell could need a buff but not a big one. Otherwise the strategy to kill half of population and then cast ravenfeast will be too strong.

I get a sick laugh everytime someone links to that norfleet is busted thread. Tis unimaginable to me that someone can be such a ****tard in a game, any game, but then I remember that we speak of humans, such incredibly vain, selfish, inconsiderate, egotistical, win at all costs beings such as we are and I am not surprised anymore.

Still blows me away how brazen this norfleet ***' lies were. NO shame, no guilt, nothing but blame for others. Just the sort of garbage I fantasize about exposing to sterility inducing chemicals for if they lie about things such as this which truly do not matter at all then should they have the possibility of breeding?

Pardon my vitrolic manner but I have had a bit to drink and by all the gods I am HEARTILY SICK of selfish ****ers like this..

Anyways yeah, Raven feast sucks donkey balls.. Used it several (3-4) times and never even got close to receiving what I spent on it (if you convert em) and the touch spells are ridiculous even without the 50% chance of casting when in melee range!
