Most Useful 3 Spells Options

[Crimson Jack]

[fistandantilus4....]

I'd just like to note for the record that my wife says that the 3 most useful spells are:

Healthy Glow
Make Over
Fashion

Guess it depends on your point of view

[hermit]

Improved Invisibility
Stun Ball
Mind Probe

A fourth would be inproved Init 3

[Ol' Scratch]

[Dingus_McGee]

Levitate 3
Physical Barrier 4
Trid Phantasm 3

The possibilities......

[hermit]

[Krazy]

i could use stun ball, or sleep would probly be better "alright campers, lights OUT!" and nutrition for those days that meals get de-prioritized.

Analyze Device 3 -useful
Heal 6 -also useful
Sterilize 1 -for nasty public restrooms

Numbers could be a little off (take one out of heal and put it into analyze device if it makes the forces work better).

[Edward]

you think sterilise 1 will help with the public restrooms.

I will take
Heal
Levitate
Trid phantasm.

Alot of people put healing spells on their lists. Realisticly however, how often does people get hurt where a bandaid couldn't deal with it?

Its not like magic can cure cancer or the other serious stuff that tend to kill us all in the end.

I'll go for:

Levitate 6
Destroy Filth 6 (Modified makeover spell, AE effect, removes all "filth". Particularly nasty stains may require the spell to be cast at Deadly :P )
Metabolize 6 (Modified health spell, increases body metabolism to burn excess fat and matches calorie burn with calorie intake for massive eating frenzy. :grinbig: )

I'm surprised nobody metions the Detox spell. This spell will rid you of a hangover... engough said.

[Ol' Scratch]

It has been mentioned, though it should be noted that not everyone is a heavy (or even light) drinker either.

[Mr.Cato]

ah yes... Detox is mentioned in the first post :) ... I guess that party saturday night did more damage than I thought.
Took me until 17:00 to get ready for a session of SR, and I had to stare at my burger for ½ a hour before I could take a bite.

Mob mind, mob mind mob mind :D

Realistically, how much would you hate yourself if you or a loved one were severely wounded (say in a car accident), but you chose to learn how to go invisible or walk on learn how to date rape someone instead of healing them? Especially when the spell to do so is easily learned and cast.

[Kagetenshi]

And how much would you hate yourself if you or a loved one were trapped under a fallen rock in the wilderness and you learned to heal instead of being able to disintegrate the rock off of them (Powerbolt) or lift it away (Levitate)? Or if you were lost in the wilderness and ran out of food and had learned to heal instead of help keep them alive (Nutrition)?

That path leads nowhere.

Did you just compare two obscure scenarios that are so remote as to practically be non-existant to one that's likely to come up at least several times in your life just for you alone?

Broken bones, twisted ankles, nasty cuts, car accidents, heart attacks, failing livers, etc. vs. having a boulder crush you (:O) or starving to death in the woods.

Okay.

[Kagetenshi]

What can I say, I'm a hiker with a few dashes of climbing thrown in. I suppose it's probably somewhat far from the norm, but I've had more people around me in serious danger that would have been helped by Levitate than Heal/Treat.

The only time I can remember being around someone in immediate danger of very likely death (in this case, trapped in the rigging of a mostly-submerged and sinking small sailboat), Powerbolt would have been the spell of the day.

[psykotisk_overle...]

Create food-3 (everything from not having to carry food while hiking to solving world hunger issues, also I'm hungry at the moment abd the spell is so inconsistent abd broken that I just have to make use of it)
heal-4 (close call between this and cure disease, but this is more dramatic. Also this is the only spell that I culd concievably have used in life/death situations so far in my life)

For the third spell I'd like something fun, Chaotic world would be great, but I'd probably end up getting some innocents killed in a car crash or something. Invisibility and levitate are cool. Various control spells have their appeal but seem sort of evil to me. Some sort of combat spell would undoubtly be cool but I doubt it'd see much use.
For the last spell
Magic fingers-3 (this spell has so much prank potential, as well as being a really cool ability)

[hyzmarca]

Levitate - to quickly clean my room with a series of complex actions.

Heal - Because I have an annoying scar that I wish had never formed.

Instead of a third spell I'd have to say that the true name of a free spirit who is willing and able to Wealth as a metamagic would be most useful.

[Edward]

the heal spell wont fix organ failure or a heart attack, at least I don’t think it will.

As a sometime hiker and knowing people that do far more outdoors activities (rock climbing, abseiling, caving, 4WD treks) the heal spell would be far more useful than levitate or a combat spell in any in those situations. (your more likely to break a leg than have it pined buy a rock)

The combination if detox, cure disease and heal would be the ultimate for saving life, of cause there are no shortage of other spells that can save lives.

[Ol' Scratch]

A broken bone isn't a "wound effect." It's a descriptor of a major wound that will heal in time. "Wound effects" represent permanent injuries.

Heal will also repair the effects of things like a heart attack (a Deadly attack that basically isn't resisted if I remember the canonical ruling on one correctly), but sure it won't cure the condition that caused it. Just the symptoms, which is all you really need until you can get more professional help.

Now, we all know that saving your loved ones from certain death is unnatural and leads to the dark side :D
