"If you mean there are few strategic spells that will be more effective against giants than humans, I have to agree. I don't see how killing random units in an army is more effective against giants than humans, though. It seems to me that human-size armies, because of their greater numbers, would lose more units than giant armies would."

Yes. Being able to kill the same proportions is more effective because the spells I enumerated don't kill ANY. For example armageddon won't kill *any* giants.

So having a spell that will kill some giants.. is a step up.

The damage that these spells cause, should simply be upped. I mean, I could have sworn that "Armageddon" describes huge cracks being torn in the earth, and people falling into them. Last I checked, that should kill a giant easily enough.

If the spell describes a small damage, like "Fires From Afar", then it should do that small damage, but things like "Flames from the Sky" describe themselves as "enormous force", and causing "great damage", that should either (have the chance to) kill, or horribly afflict giant sized targets.
