I totally appreciate your agreement on this matter Image

Its lucky the game AI isnt up to using timestops effectively - whenever a lich or some other nasty zaps you with it they usually seem to waste all their spells normally by casting 3 symbols or whatever on your summoned ogre. Doh.

Mord's Sword is also a very useful spell. Other than the fact that the swords are strong when they die they give you Greenstone Amulets so I would love to have both Time Stop and Mordaiken's Sword for my sorcerer Image Image Image Image Image

Then let's end the spam with...this post. Back to the topic. Does anyone else have any favorite spells? Or anything else about magic in general?

You guys all prefer the high-level spells. They're all powerful, but I don't get them until late in the game, and some I can't at all (I'm sorcerer)

My favorite spell for BG2 is FIREBALL. A phenomenal spell that deals monstruos damage and covers a big area! It was a piece of cake going thru the game with sorcerer. Just throw fireball here, fireball there and just cook everyone.

When I click on my char. information sheet, my most-used spell is Fireball, so there.

I agree with Grimreaper that elves are the best class for sorcerers. The 19 dex. i incredibly important for the AC bonus and the range weap. bonus.
About my favourite spells, i divide them in two classes, depending if i go solo or with a team.
If i go solo i like a lot skull trap and sunfire. I don't use them too much with a party because they always end up hurting my party members. If i go with a party, i like improved haste and spells with direct damage, not area damage.

OK mages Image return to a serious debate.
I think one of the most powerful spell (maybe in ToB)would be a massive lower resistance. When i went solo with my sorcerer the main problem were those hateful drow.....always come in groups....
What do you think????
