[b]Please share yours tips[/b].
Here's some to get it started....


BLOOD-NECRO

1.
Elf char.
Use Flesh sacrifice :) +1AP and blood under yours feet.

2.
Raise bloated corpse (1AP) in first turn, then use non necro spells/actions (like... teleport enemy to sucide-pet ^^).
In pet turn, detonate close (but not too close :) yours necro.
Detonation = sea of blood.



FIRE

1. “Searing Daggers” (2AP). First dagger under pyro feets, second and third => enemy (you lose only 1/3 damage from this spell).
Next fire spells will cost -1AP.

2. "Phoenix drive" + The Pawn talent.
Teleportation (high ground for additional damage) + fire surface under yours feet for 1 AP.

3. Lizards Dragon Blaze + The Pawn.
AE dmg + fire surface for 1 AP.


WATER

Rain :)
Not always end with water right under your feet, but if you have The Pawn, you can find one close, without AP cost (except 1AP for Rain).


AIR

Cant find any.


EARTH

Here I can't find any "1AP cost" way to do this.
But if your Geo Mage is undead, you can use poison dart to get him healing + surface for 2 AP.



ALL

Terrain Transmutation (1AP) work well, if on battlefield is already desired terrain type.
Also The Pawn talent is really good for mages. IMO Pawn will save more AP than Executioner.

For earth you can do with Flesh Sacrifice + Turn to Oil.

For earth flesh sacrifice + contamination (1 AP) would also work.
You can later shift the poison surface to fire with Ignition (also 1 AP).

For air you can use Rain to link the enemy and you(standing on the same water surface),and cast any electric skill to the enemy.(Shocking Touch,Electric Discharge,Dazing Bolt,etc.)
But it will cost you 2ap. (You can cast Rain before combat starts)
(And btw, electric water would be unstable not only the duration but also the way it works with the Shocked status.If someone with 0 magic armor and wet/shocked status is moving or acting on the electric surface,the electric water will turn back into water again and cast 1 more Shocked/Stuned status to the one.)

If u want stronger and more stable electric surface,there is a way, but it will cost your source points:Rain+Closed Circuit+Pressure Spike.(maybe +1more shocked spell)
It will turn the Cursed Static Clouds into Cursed Electric Water,which gives strong shocked effect to stun any target with 0 magic armor, and does not easily die like the normal electric water.
(Sry for the English XD)

Blood can also be electrified as water.
