Default Re: What spells does the AI favor?

Since Body Ethereal and Luck are spells that the AI uses a lot, Astral is a good choice for them.
What other useful spells does the AI use often?
Air: The AI has access to decent evocations like Orb Lightning. They can also use Mirror Image and Mistform effectively.

Blood: Summon Imps, but don't trust the AI to keep slaves around in a responsible manner.

Death: Frighten and Terror, skelly spam, Ghost Grip, Wither Bones and Dust to Dust.

Earth: ...Flying Shards? Nothing useful comes to mind.
Fire: Fire Flies. Same problem as earth.

Nature: Vine Arrow, sometimes buffs like Barkskin and Personl Regeneration nothing really useful comes to mind.

Water: The only spell I can think of is the dehydration spell. Sailor's Death? Or maybe Dessication. Nothing worth casting.

I think the AI grimoire should just have more spells. I wouldn't mind seeing enemy mages using magma bolts and whatnot. Disintegrate and Pillar of Fire might be a bit over the top, but giving them most spells up to ~level 5 would serve to boost the AI experience.
