Which school of magic do you prefer and why?

Of course, there are some wonderful spells in fire: blindness and rage, well, and Armageddon (if you have protection against it), Sacrifice can also be used, but the rest of the spells are practically unnecessary, unless you want to "twist" things beautifully for a victory

What about Mass Curse? And Thirst?
Against Barbarian or Dungeon, for example, they are absolutely super. (they cannot learn water)

But I voted for earth, obviously :) In SoD, earth is 70% of everything useful. (slow, shield, skin, resurrection (+undead), town portal, blast)
That's why in TE they corrected this injustice :) But many disagree. Got used to the sphere ;)
