Oh-I think it's absolutely necessary to keep armorplate, enchanted blade, magic screen, MISSiLE SHIELD, light and now x-ray.....running at all times when out adventuring. Don't waste precious rounds casting these during battle! Missile shield proctects you from those *!@#* Tanto wasps throwing their stingers, too.

However, I'm finding fireball to be a big disapointment. My level 12 Fairy Mage is casting at level 6 or 7 but only getting ABOUT 20-30 points of damage the first round.........this is not too helpful when surrounded in the swamp by 4-flesh-eating slimes, 8-blooddrinkers, and 7-(whatever) wasps. I lost 3 party members to that battle alone. And you should have heard the language I was using when my Alchemist/Bishop FIZZLED the first FOUR rounds of healing/stamina spells! I couldn't believe it. .......what's up with that???
