Is this normal?

I'm able to cast approx 10 spells while time is stopped and all 10 casted spells fire at once when time begin to flow again

You can cast whole bunch of spells undisturbed by anything. Even the strongest enemies are brought down to their knees before they now what happened

This is also easiest way to kill dragons without being touched.

Spell's not good only for killing, it's a life saviour too. You're able to flee without being followed by aposlutly anyone

This is a must have spell.

Yep. That's about the purpose of the spell.

 

Now that's a funny purpose
I consider that spell almost as good as cheating.

 

Yeah i agree the this spell i quite powerful, but iwas finishing the game with a pure Wizard, and without it wouldn't be able to kill Klauth and Aribeth, when casts Implosion and kills my Henchmen i'm almost defenseless, but with this spell i can cast 3 Horrid Wiliting's and just after the time gets back to normal the battle is over. The same for Klauth but i have to teleport back to the village couple of times and rest there

 

Almost all the magical items and a very large amount of the spells and powers are underpowered in my opinion. Magic is hardly frightening when you can take several fireballs, mages should be VERY powerful and I think timestop is an excellent spell that deserves it's level.

 

I think sorceror's Empower spells are really powerful.

"I'm able to cast approx 10 spells"

That's odd, my sorceress can only seem to get off at most four when hasted... are you casting quickened spells perhaps? Or am I missing something obvious...

Empower?

Try maximise. That's where all the fun is at.

I think it's because of boots of speed.
All time the haste is activated, which I guess, lowers the time for spell casting.

IMHO maximise has too big requirements:
IIRC maximise occupies a spell slot three times higher than normal.

--Supplement:
I just beat Aribeth.
One time stop, and two empower chain lightning is all I needed.
Didn't lose a single HP.
What a challenge

I am using boots of speed.

Maximise rules. I didn't even need time stop as I unloaded maximised magic missile after missile. Took Aribeth down with those alone. Maximised chain lightning however is outright godly. Too bad you need 9th level spells.

It was close though... +5 weapons + harm = bad day.

yep, the spell is realy neet, but you get it at the end of the game..."sigh".... too bad there are only 20 character levels and the game is so short, you ever used "TIMESTOP" and then "Incinerary cloud" and/or "acid fog", "cloud kill", at the same spot while there are enemies there, they get fryed-suffocate-burnt while you watch and laugh at them...... hahahahahaha... "Crush your'e enemies, set them on fire and watch'em...SUFFER!"hahahahahaha...
