> Geyser is _the_ spell. It's the culmination of an invoker's hard work and practice. While not always as useful for exploring, it is the spell of choice in many PK situations. He's an arial? Arials are vuln to water too. Geyser has one round lag. Pillar has two (maybe three, it's been awhile). You could have drawn him out of hiding and perhaps avoided the tiger claw as such.

Not only a master philosophy, a mage philosophy. If you do not want to go walk all the way, then have fun and teleport to somewhere close *grin*
I believe masters have to prepare less than regular mages, and if this isn't your cup of tea, play an assassin, well play anything other than an invoker.
They are probably the most dependant class in that aspect.
