It's fun seeing these selections and inferring people's playstyles. My fav. (though it's not the most effective) is Cloud of Death because of how well it scales with pathlevels. For me, there's nothing quite like seeing a D9 Master Lich killing dozens (sometimes hundreds) of troops each turn, with screams and little red numbers floating up from the 40-odd squares of affected enemies. Yes, I know Master Enslave and/or Earthquake would be more tactically efficient.

I also love Flame Eruption for related reasons.

Gift of Health. I love it when I see that my normal troops now have 20-30 hp each, and all my afflictions are getting better.

Nice late game too, if you can keep it up. Heals those Tartarians much better than the Chalice.

AC! Adds a whole new level of fun to the game, plus mucho weirdo monsters.

Call me stupid....I LOVE Gift of Reason. So much fun to make Tarrasques leaders, and elephants and the like!!!!

Doesn't do much for winning the game, but it is just fun.

Indeed. And it IS a game, not a job.

Divine Blessing!

Seriously, though ... I like many of the spells that have already been mentioned. Blade Wind, the Forge, and Gift of Health are all great. I also have a real affection for the commander-killing spells. Mind Hunt, Infernal Disease, and Earth Attack are loads of fun. And the Looming Hell is the icing on a devillish cake....
