Well as UserUnfriendly posted earlier. Any decent destructive looking spell in a trigger of course. Favourite being 3 Sunfires, only on solo expeditions though. ;)

a very cool spell is nahals dweomer (as wild mage) in combination with [improved] chaos shield, u can get (with a little luck) all the high level spells very early.

my wild is only level 10 or something, i summon air elementals whenever needed, and i dunno what i should fear once i find a horrid wilting spell...
only problem is u cannot have too many of them memorized, but this spell owns. and on high levels, u can use a crappy lvl 1 spell to do all the lvl 10 casting u want ;) .

tamerlane, buddy, check this out....

http://gamebanshee.com/forums/showthrea ... adid=14501

now if you have every mage set up with the sma ecasting spped, this is essential, and have each trigger a triple of sunfire via spell trigger, and all yourfighters are over 100% in magic resist, you can ahve around 400 hp damage in overlapping areas...

and this trick is designed to work as emergency last gasp do or die spell...


sunfire works great in group!!!!

giving them a chance means you dont leave any survivors....

hey, I've taken down dragons with 1 image, and NO chain or trigger spells, just buried in tiemstop and unleash hell. rarely bothe rwith timestop anymore, too annoying, jsut unleash hell via chain and trigger.

"so User, how is the baby shooting business???

no problem, just shorten the lead and blast away!!!""

I really love the shreik many female enemies make when you whack them with triple abu dahzim...


images are also fun for trapping, I usually do twisted rune with 20 dealy action fireballs, cast via image, kills every one except lich, bashed to death with azuredge..

images also dont trigger dialog, so an image can go where angels fear to tread...

frogus, you forgot the absolute best use for web,like the inn of the seven vales???

cast web in middle of room, they will NOT turn hostile. like blindess, lv 1 spell and feeblemind, the only 2 I know of, except like str spell for lowering iron golem str to make them less deadly, or the slayer in tob, will not turn a blue circle hostile. so I once went around feebleminding the entire crew of innof seven vales, and tehn slowly whacked them. but i usually cast web and send in inc cloud, this will always work.

feeblemind is an interesting spell. in theory, you can just keep casting away at dragons until one hits and then have weakest person in party whack until dead, then get the bragging right. works, but I, userunfriendly, master of spells and sorcerors, maker of the invincible sorceror kensai, use asave or else spell????


gotta be kidding, right? well blindness is cheaper, and a blinded dragon is dead meat, but a chain contingency natures beauty in triple will ALWAYS work, as long as dragon is hostile.

do a swap potion on jahiera with chain contingency scroll for REALL tough battles, natures beautys blindness is unsaveable.

but I once managed to make a feeblemind stick on firkraag, had aerie bash wwith staff of rynn...

try web without greater malison, but cast a stinky cloud in same area. very few enemies are immune to both sleep and web.

toss in a inc cloud, and a sorc with web can do much more than fry them, by binding and fry you increase the damage,...will even kill drow this way. but not skellies, their magic resist is very high.

many, many sits in game where if you know a nasty is coming, you cast a web and inc cloud follow up, no battle!!!

like in nalia home, the big room full of trolls? a web and inc cloud in the right are, farsight is a must for every sorc, cast a web and inc cloud, and reap xp!!!
