Default Re: Nominate the most useless spell here!

Summon uh... i forgot what it's called.

It's the "make a Frankenstein" air/death spell, that creates a stronger zombie. One whole turn of mage time for one stupid zombie.

I still use it in single for kicks, but it's very inefficient and the unit it makes all but useless.

[right, lightning rod, book of Igor. It's still useless ]

Touch of madness and the other one that drive folks berserk. they are worse than useless. They end up boning me half the time. I cant leave nature mages unscripted because of them.

Default Re: Help! How do you use these 10 spells?

Raven feast. Don't know if anyone has ever got more gems than the number of gems he put in the spell ?

1. Spirit Curse: it costs a death gem to curse while there are other spells that cost no gems.

Depends, it can be worth the gem when you are attacked by an enemy sc pretender and have no SN mage. I was really happy to use the gem the time it happened to me.

Well... Hmmm... Am I not breaking rule # 1 ?

Gift of Nature's Bounty is awesome. Gobs of gold = gobs of troops.

In SP at least I have yet to lose a game in which I cast it.

Oh, yeah, they're awful. Maybe if they gave the beserker ability without actually making the target beserk...

Norfleet aside

The attached jpg comes from the turn after I nuked someone's capital with 2 or 3 Black Deaths. It seems you need to generate a lot of unburied corpses to make hay with raven feast, but it can be done.

Number of deathgems generated by ravenfeast was squareroot of corpses divided by three.

My bad, it seems useful in such cases.

Ah. That's not breaking the rules, then, because you're correcting my facts. I now know what Opposition is good for.
