Turmoil Race(s) and Playing Them

The spells you mention are pretty much what I do, although I concentrate less on Earth Magic (however you're forgetting Charm!). My problem is that while Panii can cast some nice spells, they're also very expensive.

I didn't forget Charm; but I rarely script it because I usually don't use alot of Panii for fighting (usually 2 or 3) and I don't script in Charm the computer just casts it most of the time

I know it's hard to cough up 350 for a Pan when you are used to fielding massive armies with Order 3/Misfortune 3. It took me a while to get past it; and it was easier when I was playtesting S&A but as long as you can get away from that feeling they more than pay for themselves.
