components.

damage, hard to dodge, armour increases damage (or is supposed to).

Cost: Moderate
Skill: m.s.al.living?(not entirely sure to be honest)
Pros: You can't dodge it.

muscle creatures don't seem to get hit too hard, while some with
low str, get hammered nicely.
High-Level Spells (above 200)
Name: Firestorm
Cost: Moderate
Skill: m.s.e.fire

Name: Icestorm
Cost: Moderate
Skill: m.s.e.water
Pros: Component is cheap. The 2nd of 2 area spells in game.
Cons: Spell is slow, components rare, and does considerably
less damage than Firestorm to most opponents.
Name: Miasic Cloud
Cost: High
Skill: m.s.b.occultism
Pros: The components are cheap (an sulpher stick and a rotten egg) but are difficult to obtain outside of an execution.
Cons: The backfire rate of this spell is higher than that even of PWK, it also does far more damage to the caster when successful then firestorm does, it also doesn't seem to do any damage to evil creatures yet does no more against good then firestorm (bad trade off). Unless your really itchin for levels of occultism use firestorm, you'll live longer.
