well...in many, many situations, this game is all about chance=luck.

I don't think Chromatic Orb in terms of "substitute" for such spell as figer of death, yet to me, it certainly is more "useful" than finger of death. that is, by the time my mage is able to memorize finger of death, I would rather put other spells than finger of death into the precious, limited lvl 7 spell slots (Mordenkainen's Sword, Spell Sequencer, Warding Whip and so on...), while I can have an army of Chromatic Orb down there in lvl 1 slots! as I mentioned in my previous post, facing tougher enemies, Chromatic Orb doesn't work alone, which adds to my "chance" and "luck."
