| The cheapness of shrieking star isn't necessarily the only reaon that it's not a complete waste of time. It pushes mobs back as well as dealing them a bit of area damage. I use it when I'm being crowded and don't have the time to whip off a fireball without getting hit. The star casts alot faster and pushes back the enemy(ies) untill I think I can get off a fireball or two for better damage. Granted I don't use magic that much, so I don't know if higher level spells have a faster casting time and nullify that bonus, but even so it gives you something to fall back on. |
