What classes of magic should I focus in researching first?

This is one of the hardest questions to answer, and it really depends on your pretender and nation.

If an Sc was fighting a mass of vine men, it would have trouble killing them because it can only hit a few a turn. If you had like 50+ of em it would seem pretty easy to overwhelm a SC.

This is why breath of winter and fire shield are so useful to SCs. They allow the SC to damage everything that's nearby.

Does man have any good in battle spells? Or only summoning and such?

Man can easily cast the lightning spells, which are very powerful. Man can also fairly easily cast relief (They get a localized version of the spell free at the start), which allows you to cast even more lightning.
