I've been lurking here for a while and searched back about 10 pages and I really haven't seen this topic about. So, I'd be curious to ask, who likes which spells for combat with what? To start, myself I've found a few odds and ends worth pointing out but I'm only perhaps 25% through the game. I'm sure there's much more to learn than to tell.

1) Hypnotic lure is really very powerful, and often better than sleep
2) Since so many outdoor monsters have high earth and middling air/water resistances blinding flash is quite powerful since fire based.
3) Most of the single target damage spells are only a way to use up spell points when there's nothing better to cast. They're fine when free via books but I'll not again spend a spell choice on them.
4) Slow is actually much more useful than I'd expected since it's also a snare, lovely for my mostly ranged party.

I'm all ears for any further responses.
