90% of the Blood Magic combat spells. I think you can count off the nonawful ones on one hand.

Re: Nominate the [funniest] spell here!
Um, okay. I was going to come up with something, but on reflection I agree with Gandalf. So instead I nominate Polymorph as the funniest spell. The description made me laugh out loud.

I agree with Gandalf too. He is spot on as usual. Or dot on. Or is that a period? I can't tell.

Re: Nominate the [funniest] spell here!
I had a comment but edited it out. It was un-gandalf in its tone

Help! How do you use these 10 spells?
Okay, I've renamed the thread subject to something more constructive.
My nomination is Blink. What is an effective way to use this spell?

Re: Help! How do you use these 10 spells?
I personally think that 1 of these 3 could be the most useless.
1. Spirit Curse: it costs a death gem to curse while there are other spells that cost no gems.
2 .Bleed: have never been able to use effectively, when with lots of casters.
3.Corpse Man Construction: even with one of the magic items hat increase the amount of corpse men to make, I still find them a waste of air gems.

Rule number one
Okay, slightly breaking rule #1, but here's the Spirit Curse description:
"The caster summons a malign spirit from the underworld and coerces it to curse an enemy. In return, it is set free to wreak havoc on the living. The spirit never joins battle."
I've happily used Spirit Curse a few times in the early goings, playing Agartha. I didn't notice any extra havoc, but maybe I wasn't looking in the right place.
Does the "wreak havoc on the living" mean anything different than the "curse an enemy"? Is it just flavor? Or does something happen to the population where the battle is fought?

Re: Help! How do you use these 10 spells?
Opposition is inferior to Soul Slay (lower range, restricted to magical beings) and a level-6 spell. AFAIK, useful only if you're going up the Enchantment tree anyway.
Stellar Focus is pretty dubious. Ench 7 and 30 gems for 5 pearls per turn. It would be okay if it weren't taking up a global slot, but by the time you get it there's pretty much always going to be another global somebody would rather have up, so you'll have to cast it with 100+ pearls to prevent it from getting dispelled, at which point it's just as cost-effective to invest in clams instead.
Gift of Nature's Bounty, on the other hand, sounds like an awesome global but I've never cast it.
