Which spells do folks consider worth learning or upgrading ?

The spells I use the most (and even more after gaining lvl 3 in order and distortion magic) is haste and that spell that adds initiative...

Those 2 rocks (as a mage, being able to cast twice is great), summon phoenix isnt too bad either.

Lightning is kinda cool if upgraded (chain lightning=lots of dead enemies)
