I know this is not a new topic. However, I would really be interested in hear your reasoning behind why a given spell(s) is(are) your favorite.

Even though this is my first post on this board I have found it to be very informative a not too revealing for those who do not wish to be spoiled. Well done Memnoch and Ziroc!

Welcome to the board onthepequod!

I have to admit that my favorite spell is Fireball. It is such a simple spell, but it has made many battles so much easier and since all of my characters have some level of fire resistances I can even cast it right in the middle of a tough battle and not worry (too much ) about frying my own team!

It is better to keep your mouth shut and appear ignorant,
than open it and remove all doubt!

One of my favorite spells from this game is Melf's Minute Meteors. The meteors hit any target and do more damage than Magic Missile; the spell itself does more average damage than Fireball (with a maximum of a mere 10d6). Other than that, my favorite offensive spells are Chain Lightning and Abi-Dalzim's Horrid Wilting and favorite defensive spell is Stoneskin. (speaking of defensive spells, have you noticed that the 6th level spell Anti-Magic Shell was conveniently left out of the game?)

An intelligent mind is the key to the universe.

The most distressing thing about practicing magic is the fact that even the most learned sorcerers cannot accurately describe what magic *is*....

Definately magic missile. I am currently playing a jester solo, and the magic missile saves his ass more than any other spells.

Hmmmmmm...Yes, that must be it

My favorite is haste, it can turn the the side of a battle. I also love insect plague(what a mage bugger).
