Balance dogma VS accessibility dogma. Which one produces more decline?

With five spec points it's not, quality stays the same. Free repair, changing upgrades on the fly and stuff. Should definitely have picked it for my brr build.

I disagree. Picking only tier 9 mage spells
- Imprisonment - Amazing for N situations
- Freedom - Can be used to solve some quests and in combination with imprisonment allow you to do crazy stuff involving party members
- Chain Contingency - Endless usages. You can cast 3x horrid wilting for 60d8 damage, conjure 3 mordenkainen's sword, lower resist -> lower resist -> greater malison to name few combos
- Absolute Immunity -> Can save the life of your mage in a dire situation
- Black Blade of Disaster -> Or like I say "fuck large group of enemies with high magical resistance"
- Power Word, Kill -> good to end weaklings and enemy mage
- Energy Drain - Relative lackluster but can help in some encounters.
- Meteor Swarm -> Amazing AoE damage but deals fire damage(very resisted)
- Spellstrike -> Best "dispel' in the game
- Spell Trap -> Best protection against spells in the game
- Shapechange -> Endless utilities.
- Time Stop -> Za Warudo!!!
- Wail of the Banshee -> AoE finger of death

Strongly disagree. Is useless in combat however, is amazing on other situations. You can solve quests in a unique way thanks to that spell and even learn the location of important treasure. Is a spell which made me amazed with Arcanum "If I learn necromancy, I can .... Speak with the dead? that is so cool."

Zero respect for people too scared of video game spiders. Don't give a shit if you're a girl either.

Jesus. Arachnophobia should be treated and not catered to. If we cater to people who are afraid of insects rather than educate/cure them then more innocent animals will get murdered by ill people/ Karens. The whole article is a result of a country without good access to healthcare.

When I tide up my room I make sure to not destroy webs in which spiders live.

Everyone knows that the natural habitat of spiders is the dust bag of a vacuum cleaner, those webs are just a scream for help. Why do you think do they crawl into mouths of sleeping people ? They mistake the air flow and the darkness for a dust bag, truly its tragic.

They don't crawl into mouths of sleeping people. It's a myth.

No way man, they prefer bathtubs to body cavities.
