[QUOTE="Immoralkickass, post: 7120251, member: 6864983"] Has anyone mention the garbage spells that happen to be rituals? Most of the ritual spells are situational, but some are just plain bad. Meld into Stone - Probably the worst ritual spell ever. Its like Ranger's Hide in Plain Sight, but worse because you can't see whats going on around you, and can't hear well too while in the stone. At least you are guaranteed to win a hide-and-seek game. Feign Death - When would you ever need this spell? Should be a level 1 spell too. Other contenders for orcish grandmother spells: Find Traps - Lets be honest. You will only use it when you suspect there are traps nearby, and what does the spell do? Confirm your suspicions. Or not. Because of the 'within line of sight' part. I don't think you need reminding that most traps are hidden from sight, that's why they are called traps. The most common one being a trap triggered by opening a door. Of course the trap is going to be behind the door, right? [/QUOTE]
