All these strategies on spells point to one essential aspect of Wizardry, likely the one that keeps folks like us playing it of all these years, it is a highly flexible and varied game. There are many ways to beat the monsters.
In my case, both the Psionic and the Bishop have Instant Death and the Bishop has Death Wish, as well. I use them - but hardly ever kill any monsters with them, especially high-level monsters. I found that Death Bombs were similar, I hardly ever killed anything with those things.
One the other hand - both of these characters have the ability to get an Instant Kill with their ranged weapons (slings). In fact, the Psionic with Ta-Li stones and a high level beast that has had its armor melted is far more deadly than any of the Death spells - even if he doesn't score an Instant Kill, the monster is usually left unconscious, paralyzed, or both.
Currently, Ego Whip and TurnCoat are some of my most useful spells - well, after Summon Elemental.
