Right now these classes that are supposed to do their damage primarily through spell casting, only get a few offensive spells: magic missile, burning hands, shocking grasp, chill touch, colour spray, fireball, lightning bolt, acid blast, chain lightning, drac spells, meteor swarm, call lightning, monsoon, hailstorm, unearth, solar flare. The first two lines are all learned by level 30ish, except for dracs. The last line is learned from 75-97. You get nothing inbetween except for dracs which are completely unusable for long fights due to their extremely high cost. What some spells inbetween with different damtypes, including physical damage (like unearth) for those immune/resist magic mobs. Ideas include: Tidal Wave (works in shallow/deep/underwater), Dust Storm (works in desert and mountain), Sonic Boom (sound damage), Dementia (illusionist spell to do mental damage), Soul Harvest (necro spell to drain hp from enemy and give it to themselves).
