*slaps forehead* I can't believe I forgot to mention this when I intended to emphasize it. Acid has *awesome* synergy with MA Argatha. Why? Because it is AP and there is no way to gain a resistance to it. It also destroys armor just like destruction. This means that that the only thing that helps is to have high natural procection, no non-magic armor you care about, and high hitpoints. Argatha has....all of that! Vitriols are awesome and should be staple troops, and acid rain is like falling fires + destruction in one spell than nobody is immune to, but the apple of my eye is acid storm. 4 AP doesn't sound like all that much, but the important thing here is that it destroys armor, so that 4 AP attack is only blocked by natural protection the second time it hits. This adds up *fast* to anybody without very high natural protection. It also (unlike iron bane) destroys the armor on a battlefield wide scale without it having to be hit in melee first. Think about charging into blade wind spam with no armor or shield. How long does it take to chip away at those sacred statues again?
