What kind of magic do you like?

What I like about small maps is that the enemy can jump out at any moment, and then... whoa:D. The game creates tension... and taking risks to get monsters near the university, and also having to pay a decent amount of money...:D, it's not very versatile.

Not two, but three. And you can get them quickly. Especially if the map has different universities, etc. Then you can combine summoning of Nature, blessings of Life (which also includes dispelling spells), and curses of Order. Well, that's just one option. It's simply awesome!
