    My top 3:

    1. Dragon's Breath (just so powerful)
    2. Summon (Fallen) Planetar (wouldn't have got through the game without it)
    3. Abizagal's Horrid Wilting or Time Stop, I quite like Comet too.

    Dragon Breath has its uses (like vs demi-liches) but that's one I could readily do without.
    Chain contingency and improved alacrity are much more powerful imo.
    With Time Stop, contingencies/triggers, and improved alacrity, you can release about 20 spells instantly!

    My top three:
    1. Commet
    2. Bigby's Crushing Fist
    3. Time Stop

    Combine all three in a row: 3,2,1; and you get nice results! :rolling:

    If you have the robe of Vecna, it's hard to beat Improved Alacrity. You'll be able to cast the majority of your spells instantly. Spells like Magic Missile and Chain Lightning have a cast time of zero with the robe, and with IA, there is no gap between casts. There isn't really even a need to cast Time Stop. You've gotta be careful, though... the engine gets a bit chunky trying to render those Magic Missiles, Chain Lightnings and Horrid Wiltings all at once.

    Without the robe of Vecna... I'd say the Planetar spells are the best. Seeing those things in action makes you wonder why you have fighters in your party. Oh, I remember now - for the witty dialogue =)

    1. Dragons Breath (relativly short casting time, plus it can knock swarms of enemies away from a vulnerable character i.e. your mage with his protections down)

    2. Time Stop (just need to make sure that the character isn't imune... heh, made that mistake with Demogoron... oops...)

    3. Improved Alicracy(sp) (well, combined with a time stop, you can pretty much do anything to anyone in the game at your lesure.)

    IMO best spells are:
    1. Dragon's Breath
    2. Summon Planetar
    3. Comet

    oops... elemental summoning isn't mage spell :D

    To be honest, Dragons breath surprised me in how good it worked. Also liked Planetar, let one of those loose, and it can clear a level for you.

    1. Time Stop.
    2. Power Word Kill.
    3. Wail of the Banshee.

    For entertainment after I finished the game I would start slaughtering the people of Athkatla so #s 2 and 3 came in handy.

    For some reason, my cheated Edwin killed Adalon with two Dragon Breath :confused: .

    Dragons are very vulnerable to Dragon Breath. :) :cool: .
