i'm not bad at rougelikes, and the rng has been kinder with spells on this run compared to my first where i didn't get a healing spell until B55, and relied on IP healing and items (i forgot about my light capsule monster until about the time i got the spell).

i have found Strong, Stronger, Champion, Courage, Absorb, Destroy, Dragon, and Thunder to be the most useful. i didn't make use of Destroy until i found Silver Dragons, and was surprised it works on them (and Gold!). i'm used to death magic being useless in JRPGs. i can usually kill one of the dragons within the 4 unanswered attempts i get when i ambush them.

at this point
>a Dragslayer was in one of the >>9963338 chests, which was clutch
>i have silver weapons for undead things
>Selan is fast as lightning which helps with setting up Courage and escaping if i fail an ambush
>Dekar is equipped with a Gold Eye and 100% IP to shit on any pair Lucifers i come across
>genies are like oases of MP and IP and aren't threatening at all

i'm on B90 now, and my peeps are Lv73. they are steamrolling everything at this point. i don't think i've skipped any enemies this game. the only thing that gets me nervous are instant death attacks. i don't think i've seen all the Gold Dragon's moves, so am worried they have death magic. i'll wrap it up this evening, either in defeat or victory.
