Thanks for the info, Chroniss

My experience is that mages start out weak in party based RPG's, but since this is just me and the DK (warrior, another bad choice since he can't be equipped with good armor), I figured the spells would be much more effective. I'm gonna restart and reverse the characters, me as fighter and DK as mage, that way he'll have the natural armor and we'll see how he does with those nature spells. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
