    [​IMG] ... with the spells chromatic orb and haste. For big battles, use the orb to lower the pressure and haste for some ultra quick firing, hammering, cutting or whatever! This game is great!

    [​IMG] I'm in love with the improved functionality of magic missile compared with BG2 where each and every mage throws up a spell turning via a trigger :)

    Also area effect spells rock

    I never use haste. It fatigues everyone after it wears off, which is sometimes in the middle of a big battle, and afterwards I have to treck to the nearest safe resting spot and camp out. No, it's not for me. The only time I ever consider using it is when my group is in real trouble and I need to turn the tide of the battle. Then I really have little choice but to unleash that spell. And I never really cared too much for cromatic orb (though I really like in more in IWD than in BG2 at lower levels) until I reached level 12. After that, it's insta-death if your lucky. Mostly I gotta stick with magic missle. The IWD spells I like the most are Emotion: Hope and Emotion: Courage. Add some nice bonuses to your fighters. I also found Ice Lance to be a really cool third level spell.

    [​IMG] Cold spells are not very usable in the Heart of Winter campaign. Every single creature there seems to be immune :(.

    [​IMG] I've always loved haste and magic missiles. Another couple of spells that i always found useful were mass invisibilty and the good old reliable fireball:). After all, who doesn't love seeing their enemies roasted by a mad megalomainiac mage?:)

    Spike Stones & Death Fog are a most deadly area combo effect even in HoF mode
