Your Favorite Magic Path

[Ferrosol]

hmm death or earth depending on my mood voted death though as it is generally more useful

[Natpy]

Earth. Destruction, Blade wind, etc... plus artefacts

[DrPraetorious]

I voted for Death.

In order of preference to have at 3+:
1) Death
2) Air
3) Fire
4) Earth
5) Astral
6) Nature, Water
8) Blood

In order of preference to have at-least-1:
1) Astral
2) Water
3) Death
4) Blood
6) Earth, Air
8) Fire, Nature

So I guess my least-favorite path is nature . Mainly because it's available on so many independents. If it weren't, 1N would be quite important.

Air, for fog warriors, mistform, mirror image, thunder strike, lightning, wrathful skies, armour negating magic weapons, shock wave, orb lightning, phantasmal army, horror, air elementals, living clouds...err I am bored now. Is there a bad air spell?!?

My favs in order:-

1) Air.
2) Death.
3) Astral.
4) Nature.
5) Blood.
6) Earth.
7) Water.
8) Fire.

I like Death. It has it all. Combat spells, buff spells, summon spells. Astral is very powerful, Air is devastating until your opponent develops counters, Nature is great for supporting your men.

But Death has it ALL!

Is it only me liking blood?

[Serenity]

man. I love nature and water.

Blood baby, blood!

Maybe not as multifaceted as other paths but powerful via sheer brute strength. Getting a slave income of 200+/turn in a MP game is actually feasible, which is not the case for any other types of gems unless we are discussing frickin huge maps. And on that size map I'd have a slave income of 400+/turn!
