I have to disagree with Hypnotic Lure. It was very helpful to me when I was on the roads and at the mines where I kept getting hit with 20 or so creatures at one time. Use the lure and it would normally pull at least 1/2 of them away so you could concentrate on the rest without taking as much damage.
Heck, even Rapax were affected by it at higher levels. Not that I used the spell itself, mind you -- I always used my gadgeteer's Lava Lamp to cast it.
It even came in useful at the fight with the Sorceress Queen and her cronies because I used it in the doorway without going into combat and it lured all of the cultists out so I could take them out in one combat -- most of the cultists didn't even cast spells once combat did start because of the lure. When I did enter the hall to take the others on (two Death Lords & queen) it was a snap - without those eye-for-an-eye and summon elemental spells the cultists cast, the battle was much easier.
Towards the end of the game it can be useless but it even made the fights in Rapax Rift and Castle easier to survive because if they are staring at the lure they aren't casting spells on you. [img]smile.gif[/img]
