I think we need a collaborative, Wiki – style, tips sheet that can be edited by anyone. Unfortunately the program used for this message board does not permit this. You apparently cannot edit a post written by someone else even if you have their permission. (You could have an account with a public password that anyone can use. It would have a user name like SpiderwebWiki, you would have to log into this account to do collaborative editing. But there might be a problem with two or more users editing the same post at the same time. I don't know how the Wikipedia handles this one: so many articles that this is unlikely?)

Here I am starting a tips sheet on spells. It does not contain any spoilers.
To get the ball rolling I have added a few comments of my own.

Battle Magic

1. Firebolt (Essence: 0, Spell Energy: 4, Min. Skill: 1)

2. Burning Spray (Essence: 1, Spell Energy: 10, Min. Skill: 1)

3. Searer (Essence: 1, Spell Energy: 40, Min. Skill: 2)

4. Ice Spray (Essence: 0, Spell Energy: 50, Min. Skill: 3)

5. Lightning Aura (Essence: 3, Spell Energy: 70, Min. Skill: 4)

6. Essence Orbs (Essence: 4, Spell Energy: 75, Min. Skill: 5)

7. Acid Shower (Essence: 8, Spell Energy: 110, Min. Skill: 6)

8. Kill (Essence: 4, Spell Energy: 100, Min. Skill: 7)

9. Essence Lances (Essence: 10, Spell Energy: 100, Min. Skill: 8)
May be useful against golems where fire does little.
10. Aura of Flames (Essence: 25, Spell Energy: 200, Min. Skill: 9)



Mental Magic
1. Daze (Essence: 2, Spell Energy: 12, Min. Skill: 1)
Just the thing for when the party is being swarmed by many monsters.
2. Mental Barrier (Essence: 4, Spell Energy: 15, Min. Skill: 1)

3. Wrack (Essence: 1, Spell Energy: 10, Min. Skill: 2)

4. Unlock (Essence: 5, Spell Energy: 50, Min. Skill: 3)

5. Terror (Essence: 2, Spell Energy: 80, Min. Skill: 4)

6. Dominate (Essence: 5, Spell Energy: 90, Min. Skill: 5)

7. Essence Shackles (Essence: 5, Spell Energy: 40, Min. Skill: 6)

8. Strong Daze (Essence: 5, Spell Energy: 60, Min. Skill: 7)

9. Charm (Essence: 7, Spell Energy: 120, Min. Skill: 8)
Now a charmed monster will be the first target of nearby monsters, it is the ultimate meat shield. You may need to cast this a couple of times to get it to work. It will run out too, by which time the charmed monster will be severly injured.
10. Mass Madness (Essence: 20, Spell Energy: 200, Min. Skill: 9)



Blessing Magic
1. War Blessing (Essence: 3, Spell Energy: 10, Min. Skill: 1)

2. Protection (Essence: 3, Spell Energy: 10, Min. Skill: 1)

3. Essence Shield (Essence: 20, Spell Energy: 0, Min. Skill: 2)

4. Speed (Essence: 8, Spell Energy: 80, Min. Skill: 3)

5. Spine Shield (Essence: 8, Spell Energy: 100, Min. Skill: 4)

6. Mass Energize (Essence: 8, Spell Energy: 80, Min. Skill: 5)
This may make “unstable” creations halfway viable.
7. Steel Skin (Essence: 50, Spell Energy: 0, Min. Skill: 6)

8. Essence Armor (Essence: 60, Spell Energy: 0, Min. Skill: 7)

9. Elemental Cloak (Essence: 16, Spell Energy: 130, Min. Skill: 8)

10. Battle Roar (Essence: 20, Spell Energy: 150, Min. Skill: 9)
I think this is useless but it would enable you to protect and cure the party in only one move.


Healing Craft
1. Minor Heal (Essence: 2, Spell Energy: 5, Min. Skill: 1)

2. Cure Affliction (Essence: 1, Spell Energy: 25, Min. Skill: 1)

3. Augmentation (Essence: 30, Spell Energy: 0, Min. Skill: 2)

4. Heal (Essence: 4, Spell Energy: 30, Min. Skill: 3)

5. Regeneration (Essence: 5, Spell Energy: 40, Min. Skill: 4)

6. Group Heal (Essence: 7, Spell Energy: 50, Min. Skill: 5)

7. Banish Affliction (Essence: 6, Spell Energy: 60, Min. Skill: 6)

8. Major Heal (Essence: 6, Spell Energy: 50, Min. Skill: 7)

9. Aura of Cleansing (Essence: 15, Spell Energy: 120, Min. Skill: 8)

10. Mass Restore (Essence: 20, Spell Energy: 150, Min. Skill: 9)

There are so many different opinions... I think a wiki would be a disaster. A collaborative project might work great, but it would need someone to moderate it.

It actually spits you out to a special page where you can see any other edits that happened while you were editing so that you have the opportunity to integrate those edits with your own.
