I enjoy using Magic Missle more...I don't really know why...but that is the one I always choose.

Magic Missile.

Chromatic orb cap at level 10, and does not do a lot of damages.

If you're wondering which one to take for a level 1 Sorc, then start with Chromatic orb, because it's effects are more useful early on, but then at your 3 or 4th spell pick for lvl 1 spells, take magic missile, as it's usefullness only gets better as you level.

Ice dagger is also a useful early spell...since its damage is level variable.

For regular mages, get both. For sorcerers, start with Chromatic Orb, then pick up Magic Missile. [img]graemlins/petard.gif[/img]

Ive played all the games of Lost Realms Series and through it all id probally choose magic missle while in small to large fights. I use chromatic orb to stun the most threatening enemy in the room so i can kick the !#$@ out of him and he cant fight back! So all in all id ditch the other spell you got and keep both.

Agree, use chromatic orb to stun the enemy and then whack the fire out of him. Magic missile gets real Mean in the upper levels. More balls flying than a house of ill (well you know the rest)
