I'll second any of the lower level touch attack spells as well. If you are close enough to touch an attacker the mage should be running not trying to annoy his attacker.

I wouldn't mind some uber-cool higher level touch spells though for when you your mage is buffed up... like a touch enslave that costs no fatige...

90% of the Blood Magic combat spells. I think you can count off the nonawful ones on one hand.

Default Re: Nominate the [funniest] spell here!

Um, okay. I was going to come up with something, but on reflection I agree with Gandalf. So instead I nominate Polymorph as the funniest spell. The description made me laugh out loud.

I agree with Gandalf too. He is spot on as usual. Or dot on. Or is that a period? I can't tell.

I had a comment but edited it out. It was un-gandalf in its tone

Default Help! How do you use these 10 spells?

Okay, I've renamed the thread subject to something more constructive.

My nomination is Blink. What is an effective way to use this spell?

Seconded on touch spells, although fists of iron isn't too horrible.

I'm gonna throw up Crumble for nomination though, 20 earth gems, it doesn't do much of anything to the units inside, it requires a powerful mage at earth 5, and probably worst of all if your siege force isn't hurting the walls to begin with crumble won't let you storm the castle, since it happens before the defenders repair the walls, so they get the gate closed before you can issue orders. I think you'd be better off alching those earth gems and buying 200 gold worth of troops, at least those are reusable for the next fort.
