Default Your favorite spell

What is your favorite spell? The one, that when you finally research it, your heart leaps like a gazelle? Perhaps one which affects your choice of nations or pretenders, just to be able to cast it? It may be a summoning spell (Lords of Civilization), a battlefield arty spell (Cloud of Death), a battlefield enchantment (Fog Warriors), a ritual spell (Mind Hunt), or something else (Utterdark). What is yours?

-Max

I love high precision, so Eagle Eyes has a special place in my heart now

That combined with various 'cloud'-spells is just awesome. It goes from you having half the cloud on your own army to the enemy taking the full force

Summon Earthpower. The other booster spells are also good, but if your mages can cast it, the combination of less fatigue, better spells AND reinvigoration is too awesome to pass.

Cloud Trapeze.

Though there's a couple of others, as well.

It's fun seeing these selections and inferring people's playstyles. My fav. (though it's not the most effective) is Cloud of Death because of how well it scales with pathlevels. For me, there's nothing quite like seeing a D9 Master Lich killing dozens (sometimes hundreds) of troops each turn, with screams and little red numbers floating up from the 40-odd squares of affected enemies. Yes, I know Master Enslave and/or Earthquake would be more tactically efficient.

I also love Flame Eruption for related reasons.
