That is a fun trick indeed. You wouldn't mind we make a mention of this in the Spells Reference, eh?Originally posted by TGM
3x Scorcher is great in a minor sequencer, just get 2 mages, with it memorised, make them fire resistant and then use their sequencers on each other. Your mages should take no/little damage, but anyone inbetween will take damage from all 6 scorchers.
What makes this even better is that you can move your characters and the scorchers follow you, so you can 'clothes line' enemies with your mages, especially if both have boots of speed. Which makes it a fun tactic against lots of low level enemies.
Good tactic
If the Cloak of Reflection or the old Cloak of Mirroring bounces a Lightning Bolt, it duplicates. The original bolt keeps flying in its chosen path, but a new bolt bounces back to you. If you still have the old Cloak of Mirroring, you can create an infinite feedback between two reflecting characters this way, which leads to an infinite number of bolts bouncing all over the place.
