* Ice Storm
NOTES: This spell selection gives you your share of offensive spells as well as defensive and debuff spells. Mind fog will help you land your phantasmal killer spell as well as your other will based save spells. I didn't take ethreal visage as it will be useless when you put on your uroboros bard light armor or abyss bard light armor. Your displacement will recieve the same conceal as your ethreal visage when you have these armors on and only when you have them on!
Shades allows you to summon a shadow demon, it can pack quite a punch if it gets buffed up by you and/or a druid, mage or cleric. Your main buff spells are as follows, in order of importance:
Ghostly Visage, Displacement, Energy Buffer, Least Spell Mantle, Endure Elements, Clarity then Expeditious Retreat.
Put them in your autocaster in that order! Your mage armor is there to help buff your summon and others summons that dont have a mage to cast. Ghostly Visage is at the start incase your buffing and something spawns or someone spawns or you are buffing in the middle of a spawn, you get the idea.
