Fireball fireball fireball.....

Fireball is always good. It's just that fire rain is even better, so fireball loses its relevance. I like to leave fireball at a lower level because it costs less mana, and is useful for winnowing down stacks that you're planning to keep hanging around, near the end of fights, so you can gather mana/rage and resurrect all of your losses.

Sounds like you don't know that you can always cast a spell at lower level, using the "shift" and "ctrl" keys.

No need to "leave fireball at a lower level" to save mana.

Simply hold down Ctrl or Alt to cast a Lower Level spell - any spell. This is one feature of the game I only dreamed of having and this is the first game I see such a genius option available. (especially useful when you want to use Sacrifice Level 1 instead of Level 3 or 2 so you don't go over your leadership...)
