Thank you for your replies.

Note also that "weak" mages can sometimes still cast really cool spells, but those spells are usually found at very high research levels. For instance, 2 path levels of Death (commonly abbreviated D2) don't let you do very much normally, but there's a nifty little spell called Disintegrate at Alteration-8 which costs only 10 fatigue and forces any other unit to save-or-die. Another is Frozen Heart, which any W1 (Water-1) mage can cast and which inflicts 9 points or so of damage on any unit in range, ignoring Protection. I think this one also comes somewhere in the Alteration tree.

To reiterate: powerful spells usually require lots of path levels on the caster and lots of research, but sometimes they only require one of the two.

Actually, I have a bit of a noob question. Astral healing, is it a one shot spell as it looks like, or is it a persistent spell that heals all your units every turn? I've never actually used it because if it really is the former that doesn't seem very useful to me.
