    If someone misses his saving throw - he is dead...
    He stands still for a 1.5 - 2 minutes or so... Really long time.. The whole battle.

    It's fun when you run into a bunch of bandits or slavers, though... Then again, I prefer the death spell when I run into them. :)
    (Just *fooooom* and watch them fall! Heh!)

    It´s also fun to play a mage-thief, sneaking in a group of enemies casting sunfire :D

    Nah.
    Domination and dire charm are the ones. I won half of the battles in the beginning of the game by using those two on human oponnents you have to fight...
    They practically never succeed their saving throws, so basically you can turn them on their own buddies, so they kill both them and themselves in the process.
    Just cast, stand back and let them attack. Fun. ;)

    no no no, the best spell in the game is cure light wounds - because that makes everyone feel better again. All this fighting, why can't we just talk through our differences.

    Hmmz I use the Hold-spell for only one thing (and then it's very usefull)
    When an Umber Hulk/Mind-flayer or whatever confused one of my characters and he try to kick on of my other party-members, I cast Hold Person on him, so he gets some time to cool down :)
