Some questions about spells:
1. Which epic spell is better Dragonr's Breath or Comet in IA? DB does more damage and knockback, but Comet can stun. Pls. consider only the hardest battles (EDE, Oazis, Twisted Rune, final SoA fight etc.) since both are very good against weaker enemies. I am curious what do you think, guys. 2. Is Imprisonment really so good spell in IA, or just my Baldurash text upgrade is not good again. It says no saving throw and bypass magic resistance. Is it right? If yes, this would be among the best lvl 9 spells, since you can take out 1 dangerous enemy from the fight with this. OK, you need a freedom also when all enemies dead, to free imprisoned one and kill him. 3. Why Shadow Door is better than Impr. Invis.? As far as I see, Impr. Inv. is a little bit longer and gives some bonuses (4 AC and 4 saves), Shadow Door doesn't have bonuses. So why is Shadow Door lvl 5 spell while the better spell is lvl 4 only? |

Pls. consider only the hardest battles (EDE, Oazis, Twisted Rune, final SoA fight etc.) since both are very good against weaker enemies. I am curious what do you think, guys. Dragon's Breath inflicts more damage, but it's also a tad slow and takes acouple of seconds to deal its damage after being cast. Both are good spells, though I consider DB a tad more useful. QUOTE 2.

OK, you need a freedom also when all enemies dead, to free imprisoned one and kill him. Yes, it's a powerful spell and can do some precious help in some IA battles. However some certain enemies in IA have been granted immunity to Imprisonment to prevent the player from eliminating them from the game by casting one single spell. The spell can be cheesy sometimes.QUOTE 3. Why Shadow Door is better than Impr. Invis.? As far as I see, Impr. Inv. is a little bit longer and gives some bonuses (4 AC and 4 saves), Shadow Door doesn't have bonuses. So why is Shadow Door lvl 5 spell while the better spell is lvl 4 only? Shadow Door has shorter casting time. Sometimes the levels of a spell is simply copied from pnp regardless of its comparative usefulness (even if the spell doesn't exactly do what it does in pnp). -------------------- Improved Anvil
