Favorite spells?

[Holywhippet]

What are everyones favorite spells in TAB? I'd say my number 1 favorite at the moment would have to be the illusion spell. My current army consists of inquisitors, shamans, catapults (with some cyclops that can be swapped in for certain fights), emerald dragons and black dragons. Since I'm a mage with maxxed out higher magic I can cast two illusion spells (level 2) in the first round of combat on the emerald dragons. They in turn can use mana drain to recover some of the points I spent summoning them. The AI seems to prefer the summoned dragons over the real ones which helps keep losses down.

The really cool moment for me using the illusion spell came when I'd just about finished a fight. Figuring it was over I had the inquisitors raise one of the troops that had taken losses. Then the remaining enemy stack hit my black dragon, the counterattack managed to kill one of my emerald dragons who were sitting behind it. I spent half a minute trying to work out if I had to accept the loss of an emerald dragon when I realised my salvation lay with the illusion spell. I just summoned an illusionary copy of the inquisitors and had them use ressurection on the emerald dragons. The fight ended soon after with no losses on my part.

My other favourite spells would be as follows:

Trap - useful for blocking enemy troops from getting at your troops or slowing them down early on.
Plague + helplessness - strips defences down a lot on high defence opponents.
Guardian angel - very useful in boss fights.
