2. Two most important spells
By Michael C
The two most important spells in battle is the spells "Soul shield" and "Elemental shield". They are your number one protection against enemy spell-casters.

3. Set-Return portal spell
By Michael C
All characters except fighters can learn the "Set"/"Return"- portal spell from the "Air" realm (Saves a lot of annoying travel time in middle and end game).

4. Bad ailment spells
By Michael C
Bad ailment spells are very useful in battles except the "sleep" ailment which only is helpful as long as you don't hurt the monster.

5. X-Ray spell
By Michael C
Use the "X-ray" spell to detect all monsters early on.

6. Spell duration
By Danicek
Keep in mind that some spells have a certain duration, so check them before and during battles - it can be fatal if they expire during battle.

7. Use spells frequently
By Vox Clamant
Use spells whenever you can. Especially, cast the protection spells (v. magic, etc) and even torchlight with settings up in the Yellow/orange range. If it backfires, rest and try again. The point is you quickly and easily get critical spells up to high levels.
