I agree with you, there are a number of good mid level damage spells. I'm wondering though, how effective are niefel flames? Is having a few niefel flame casters an effective late game strategy?

Neifle Flames is nice for that high quality AN damage, but it suffers from the problem that not only is chaff and Cold Resistance easy to come by in the late game, but Undead Cold resistant chaff is extremely easy to come by.

I could be wrong, but wouldn't that mean that Niefel Flames targetting would automatically bypass any undead chaff? Sounds quite useful.
