Great, we had favourite spells
but how about the worst spell?
Here are some of my suggestions:
1. Quicksand
2. Scuttle a boat
3. Magic Mirror
4. Forcefield

I have never seen any use for Quicksand but I heard someone set up a good battle map with Quicksand as your main spell -- never played it.
Scuttle boat has a distinct advantage in island map especially if you have water skill (can't live without water skill these days). I would never dismiss it as being totally useless because in some cases, in MP, it can mean an easy victory.
Magic Mirror should have affected the entire unit -- it would be frightening and live up to its level 5 spell.
Forcefield is useless in most cases and MP games. But it also does have its uses. I usually will deliberately exploit this spell to be used in some of the critical battles when making maps. It's a fun spell, can be effectively used to protect shooters from 2-hex creatures. Works wonder for Archdevils too.

It's great when you're being attacked by Naga Tanks...
I think that one that lowers luck is probably the most useless spell though.

remove obstacle...
I have never cast remove obstacle... not even once. I have cast Misfortune in the past... but I can actually see Remove obstacle being useful. At least I've won battles that I would have lost if my opponent cast remove obstacle at the right time.
It usually involved battles where I was using harpy hags to torment slow creatures by flying over the large obstacle in the middle and then attacking them while they move around it, then flying to the other side when they get close. A well-timed Remove Obstacle Spell could kill me in those situations.

"Forcefield sucks" - yeah right. Forcefield can be very very useful if had at expert lvl.

Well, isn't it high time that we started talking about our favourite spells (I opened the thread because I thought that was the idea). Furthermore, I have seen many people talking about useless spells but no one talking about favourite spells (maybe this is my fault). So I think that my favourite spell is Blind. Another useful spell (especially for me, because I always play with Fortress) is Haste. And Town Portal as well... But I can't get it in the Fortress town so the first two are more useful for me.
By the way, I think Scuttle Boat would be really great if you could scuttle boats with enemies on them...

Forcefield is a great Spell, would never call it useless.

No ... wrong thread!

Scuttling occupied boats wouldn't be 'great', it would be vastly over-powered! :-)

I think armageddon is the worst spell you can cast if you have no artifacts that render your troops immune to it.

I thought Armageddons Blade is the only Art, that renders Units immune to Armageddon.
Personally, I think its the best Spell aside of Berserk. Very hard to loose, when they are useable.

Well, besides Armageddon's Blade, there is an artifact, The Power of the Dragon Father that renders your troops immune to spell levs 1-4. And then there are some troops immune to fire, like Phoenixes, Efreets etc. But i still think it's the worst spell to cast if you're not immune to it. I mean, it's suicide!

If you don't like sacrifice you are not using it correctly.
Look at the numbers of expert sacrifice
power + health + 10 X # of creatures
Lets say your playing inferno and you're pumping out imps. You get into a fight with some one and he kills your 5 ADs. You need to sacrifice enough imps to bring back the ADs. Thats only 40 imps (assuming a spell power of 11) to get back 5 Ad. 5 archdevils cost 22500 gold and 10 mercury vs 40 imps costing 2000 gold. By casting that spell you saved over 20000 gold and didn't have to wait for 3 weeks to get your devils back. Plus if you played correctly you used your pit fiends to turn the dead imps into demons.
Yea, that really sucks. Save your best creatures and upgrade the creatures you sacrificed. There is a reason that it is always offered in the Inferno, that town is designed around sacrifice.

Thanks for the tip Oldtimer. I haven't really used it that much, since I tried it once then it didn't work properly so I didn't use it anymore!
Does the resurection remains static or it's only until the battle finished.

Pretty cool that sacrifice... thanx Oldtimer. Ressurection works for living creatures like animate dead does for undead I think
