Pretty useless. > I don't know, but Fire Wall and Flame Wave are my babies. - Actually Fireball is one of the MOST useful spells in the game - does a great deal of damage at high levels, has an area of effect, and once you have a few spell levels, has a nominal mana fee (10). But I totally agree with your comments on Bone Spirit and Elemental (although it looks cool). I never use Flame Wave though... Golem, Apocalypse, Nova and Teleport are all very useful 4th level spells. One of the best things about this game is the fact that the spells are really quite different - not just 7 or 8 "mass damage" type spells which do varying degrees of damage, like some old D&D type games.
