Except pillar of fire virtually misses everytime or seems to when I cast it! Good spell on paper, rubbish in actual use.

Is it just with Abysia, or with everyone?
Thunder Strike and the mages who cast it both have a good precision, so Pillar of Fire won't come near that, but I don't see why Pillar of Fire would be that bad. I really should play few MP games, so that I'd actually find out these things.

With everyone really, its a fairly high level spell so could do with its prec being raised from the current 0 to perhaps 5 - 10 or so. Its very frustrating when you have 10 mages cast it and every single one misses its target by miles, so even the AOE it has does not effect the enemy. The prec increase would just about make it useful from useless as it is now.

Spells that attack the entire battlefield would also work, for example firestorm which abysia's units are immune to.
