> Third, I must disagree with Issachar. I rather like having useless spells in my games, just as long as they aren't too obviously useless ("Protection from normal gold," anyone?) and they aren't in overwhelming numbers. But a few spells that don't actually do anything useful can be beneficial - it requires the player to figure out which spells are worth his time.

Okay, I'm going to be vacillating and wishy-washy on this and change my mind, partly just because I'm glad to see Darien back and I want to make him happy. :-) I can see how some "useless" spells would contribute to the overall fun factor. It's just that the fun is usually over real quick, and unless those spells have highly entertaining effects in non-combat situations, I'm just not going to waste time trying them more than once. If they *are* repeatedly entertaining, though, then hey--I'm all for their inclusion.
