    My favourites are Magic Missile, Fireball and Stoneskin. I don't really like spellcasters, too complicated for my liking.

    Abi Dalzim and Fireball - High and low level mass destructors.
    Breach and Dispel Magic - Too many mages in game.

    Abi Dalzim - Great damage, doesn't hurt friends
    Sunfire - Excellent spell, if you are soloing

    Skull Trap - it's like a Magic-Missile grenade
    Melf's Minute Meteors - a great spell disruptor
    Insect Plague, Call Woodland Beings, and Heal are my fave priest spells

    Timestop - it's great casting it and then running around killing all your enemies with greater deathblow and they can't do a thing to stop you!

    Timestop can be cast from scrolls but the HLA mentioned cannot be done w/out ToB installed.

    Fav wizard spells
    - stoneskin
    - remove fear
    - incendary cloud

    Fav priest spells
    - iron skins (alas, only Druids have this :sosad: )
    - creeping doom (or any insect summoning; again, only Druids)
    - Harm

    @Fallen Paladin

    Are you crazy? Everyone knows 'Infravision' beats 'Identify' hands down. Really, think about these things before you type them. :D :p

    Favorite is Sunray. I like the animation and the damage and death effects. :evil:

    Most practical spell for me is Melf's Minute Meteors - NOTHING in the game is immune to it. Not Kangaxx, not adamantine golems... IIRC the fire damage even hits through abjuration spells on enemy mages!

    Most frequently used spell for me is Magic Missile or Fireball though.

    Any of the spells that cut through magical defenses -- things like piece magic, pierce shield, Breach, Spell Thrust, etc. I also like Stonskin for mages, any spell that affects the whole party (like Haste, Bless, Chant)

    And, of course, healing spells. I couldn't make it through without those -- well, maybe I could, but I'd be spending way too much on potions and at temples.
