ice prison is one of the best spells there is! the enemy ai is too stupid to attack it's way out! so it's basically like another blind type spell option!

I got this early and use it every fight on the strongest low level enemy stack...well I did... until I got stoneskin+target+reddragon+scale set=near immunity to physical damage from the opposing army

Does Timeback exist in this game? I've not found it yet, but that spell is freaking GOD.

Magic Shackles has very specific and important uses. As does trap and slow (especially early game).

Target is very strong, as is Greasy Mist.

It does. Got it semi-early.

I'm a Viking/Warrior, so trap isn't that useful to me right now.

Target is good, but I never really used it, even in Armored Princess.

Greasy Mist / Oil Mist, ah I abused this a LOT since I used to run Level 5s and the Super Summon Mage team.

They're not being stupid, exactly. The description for ice prison implies the targeted unit can break its own shell by attacking it. That isn't true. I tried using Ice Prison as a pseudo-Glot's Armor and the unit lost its turn.

Yeah, later on when one has max the concentration and higher magic; fear and ice prison (well all buffs and debuffs) last sometimes more than 6 rounds and you can cast twice per turn.

I maxed my alchemy as well since I wanted to have all spells at highest level to test them out. Which reminds me I need to check it out the cost of crystals for upgrading the spells, for some reason I keep thinking the previous games were *cheaper*.

No, but there is a talent that gives you up to 60% chance to use rage twice per turn.
Chaos Dragon, like most wanderer scrolls, is entirely a lucky find.

I love Blizzard for my Soothsayer, Sonic Boom is also fun (haven't found it yet this time)...
Haven't found a Geyser spell yet (found one on my Viking run...)
And no Stoneskin anywhere yet...
But i did get a Call Colossus from a battle chest while on the first few islands, so i had Trolls and Archdemons against the Spider...
