Absolutely right. Buffs are critical to success in this game. Never go anywhere without them. Some of the high-level damage spells are good, too. For that matter, so are a couple of the lower-level ones, like insanity. That was always one of my favorites, along with the high-level one, whose name escapes me at the moment. Nothing like having the critters beat on each other istead of you
