Phantom & Royal Snakes combo

[kadrzys]

I just came out with an idea.. There's a way to use Royal Snakes without being attacked in melee for about 3 rounds. And it's a BOMB. I use them that way and it works fine. I just got phantom spell and tried to combine it with this strat. but I'm a Warrior and can't upgrade fast Phantom up to lvl 3
43% it's a lethal thing.. Think about it:
-frog wife
-boots which give +1 speed and initiative to snakes (I got them in my game, without this it should work too)
-bless spell
-phantom spell
that's 4 or 3 (without bless spell) ingredients of this lethal (i think so) tactic.
Simply you use sorched earth tactic (mentioned by sector24 in Beating the game with no losses (Paladin) topic) but meanwhile you cast phantom on your snakes (once per turn as Pala and Warrior, two times as Mage). Of course mana pool is a limitation but there are ways to recover it (like +3 mana per turn belt and high concetration and Magic Spring). Anyone finds it good? worth trying out (asking because of priceless time needed to make it working like a real lethal bomb).
