muahahaha

Muahahahahaha

MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

EDIT: I chose gate. Obvious choice for me.

[Pyrion]

Other nice spells not in the poll:

Minor illusion (turns you into a thing)
Shrink
Avatar (becoming superman for a while)
Charm
Unfailing Reverence (+55 Cha... you know what you could do with THAT).

[Daldaen]

Gate. The only thing I hate more than dumb people is dumb people driving next to me on my way home. Just because it's raining doesn't mean you can go 30mph on the highway old people.

[burkemi5]

Also went with Gate, although without Bind Affinity you better not ever move or change jobs... Although imagine going to the bar over the weekend, getting as drunk as you want, and gating home. That would be awesome.

I have a feeling the bar thing would work more like Harry Potter trying to use the damn fire place teleport for the first time. You'd probably gate to another bar or something because your gate would be drunk.

EDIT:

Side note - I see we have 5 people wishing to be Jesus.

[SherlockHolmes99]

Insta cast complete heal :p

[gildor]

Drones of Doom...because my neighbors dog just wont shut up

[bktroost]

Um summon air elemental. Invisible minion to do my bidding? Absolutely!

[JboxCSU]

Gate would be sweet, but I'd prefer SoW. So many applications.

Cast it on your favorite football team, gain the ability to run past Usain Bolt (maybe), cast it on the slow person going up the stairwell, etc.

[Sorn]

I would cast two. Counteract Disease and Complete Healing. Maybe then I could save my grandmother.

[JboxCSU]

Ah, cure disease...that would be best.

Could make a fortune saving people's lives.

[dafier]

Um summon air elemental. Invisible minion to do my bidding? Absolutely!

That does sound attractive as well. :)

[Man0warr]

Gate/Teleportation would make you a rich man if you could do it in RL.

[Mirana]

DMF. Levitation, underwater breathing, increased tolerance to snake bites, and the ability to see ghosts? Yes please.

[Spyder73]

Gate/Teleportation would make you a rich man if you could do it in RL.

You would have to find the IRL underwater urn room and make sure thats where you were bound to make good money.

I voted gate, but there is a strong case for Mez (mez bank guards, take money, mem blur, profit). There is also a strong case for regeneration....live forever unless you take too much damage at once, at that point you may not want to be living anyways.

But the most useful skill in all of EQ, by a LARGE margin, is of course feign death. It would probably prove the most useful....not exactly sure how it would play out, but there could be a nice insurance scam in there somewhere to get rich and you could get out of trouble instantly.

[Eldon]

bristlebane's bundle

[Seltius]

Summon food and water*not for myself I couldn't eat the food it summons anyway*

[Kileras]

gaet would suck without bind affinity. Everyone would most likely be bound just outside the hospital they were born in, because shit is classic. Gate would be incredibly inconvenient.

i am surprised nobody is really digging invisibility, oh the things you could do ! Rez would be the real gentlemans choice. since you slowly would lose more level, could you just keep rezzing someone over and over after killing them to delevel them to a younger age? we need to think about all of the implications here guys, this isn't a game.

[Lisset]

Memory blur would be awesome. Harmony would be great if you lived in a rough neighborhood.

[Izmael]

Gate sounds good but you'd need to be able to set your bind point for it to be really great and beat any other spells. Since you only get one spell, you can't bind.

I'd go for Improved Invis (or Camo). So much stuff you can do with a fixed duration 30 minutes invis, and there are no undead IRL to see through it.

[dafier]

OK OK. What if gate was ALWAYS set for your home. Even if you moved homes. No matter where you are, you can gate to whatever home is.

If you have a Summer home and a Winter home or are just rich and have multiple homes, you would could gate to which ever home you wished.

not classic.

[azeth]

Gift of Xev might make you humanitarian of the year, but...

consider any spell thats beneficial is going to get you locked up in chains and forced to cast it for the duration of your life.

[dafier]

not classic.

Determination of what is 'classic' in life determines ones point of view. This is deep....

[Eldon]

When you gate you'd pop up around wherever you were born.

[indiscriminate_hater]

your casting has been interrupted

[Adolphus]

Really people . . . gate vs resurrection? Is there even a comparison between escaping a bad situation and reincarnating the dead?

[Taeoz]

Can't rez myself, so has to be CH. Even if HP is ticking down due to a disease or poison, I can just top up every now and then.

[One Tin Soldier]

I was think invisibility at first because of the profit potential and other possibilities but after thinking about it I might prefer charm.

I would take charm over invis if I could give charmed people orders more specific than just "attack" and "back off".

[azeth]

Can't rez myself, so has to be CH. Even if HP is ticking down due to a disease or poison, I can just top up every now and then.

You could be interrupted though, like if a car hit you and you started casting mid collision you'd definitely get interrupted.

Although consider if you are enormously Ogre-fat IRL you have frontal stun immunity, so CH is probably a wise choice.

[Kileras]

do other class specific and race specific abilities count? If you were a bard you could cast while moving, which would definitely be a help.

I mean if you're a musician, sure. you're a bard.

[aldred]

bind sight on hot girls man...

[Erazmus]

Sense heading.

[burkemi5]

@people saying mez and charm, without some sort of aggro dump, you'd be SOL. You can mezz everyone at a bank or something but they'd still know it was you. And I doubt there's any zone lines IRL.

[Nerfbat]

Sense heading.

Just drop a sword on the ground next to you.

[khandman]

Wake of Karana.

[Slayerofalot]

Gate. The only thing I hate more than dumb people is dumb people driving next to me on my way home. Just because it's raining doesn't mean you can go 30mph on the highway old people.

Old people beg to differ.

Gate for sure.

[jcr4990]

Although consider if you are enormously Ogre-fat IRL you have frontal stun immunity, so CH is probably a wise choice.Confirmed I'm an ogre IRL. I picked Improved Invis though. So many applications that it's ridiculous. Gate would only really be better if you could also bind affinity imo.

[Huggz]

Everyone knows you can't raise the dead. We don't want a bunch of soul-less husks walking around. We have enough already.

[Rogean]

Cazic Touch.

[Sadre Spinegnawer]

I would earn Nobel prizes like a boss

[Calibix]

@people saying mez and charm, without some sort of aggro dump, you'd be SOL. You can mezz everyone at a bank or something but they'd still know it was you. And I doubt there's any zone lines IRL.

Enchanter mez comes with a blur component. Could just recast until the blur sticks. Wouldn't even have to wait to see if it worked if you can /assist your target/victim.

[NegaStoat]

Um summon air elemental. Invisible minion to do my bidding? Absolutely!

Same. That person being a complete jerk for doing whatever suddenly hears the following behind them.

"Yo Mamma's so fat, she got arrested at the Airport for carryin' 10 pounds of crack!"

While all you hear is a faint whispered "Taunting Attacker, master!"

[Champion_Standing]

Ice Comet, feel my wrath mortals

[Izmael]

Nobody mentionned Call of the Hero, sure you could find fun stuff to do with it. How about CoH'ing people to and from the International Space Station, or even the moon? Heck, another galaxy.

A solider got caught by the ISIS and is about to be made into kabobs by them? CoH him home, watch them boggle.

It's your daughter's prom night and she's STILL not home? Just CoH her.

Them pearls pretty pricey IRL though.

[jarshale]

I thought about going for resurrection and starting my own mystic sex cult but I would probably get assassinated. I could probably do the same thing with complete heal.

[Mead]

You can tell who the creepers are.

[Seltius]

Cazic Touch.

I could see all kind of social issues with this one... Hope you never get Dementia or Alzheimer's.

Gravity Flux

@people saying mez and charm, without some sort of aggro dump, you'd be SOL. You can mezz everyone at a bank or something but they'd still know it was you. And I doubt there's any zone lines IRL.

Some people think in too simplistic terms. Robbing banks---silly.

Think in terms of getting info for stock picks. You charm a CEO and ask him questions. So what if he recognizes your face. What's he going to do, call the police and tell them that some guy asked him a question and he answered it?

[bktroost]

You could be interrupted though, like if a car hit you and you started casting mid collision you'd definitely get interrupted.

Although consider if you are enormously Ogre-fat IRL you have frontal stun immunity, so CH is probably a wise choice.

I just got a beautiful image of an incredibly obese walmartian in the middle of the road waveing her arms and chanting as a bus bounces off her front, moo moo rippling from the impact.

[Atmas]

Gate sends you to your spawn point. I don't think your mom would be too happy about that.

[captnamazing]

CH pretty easy choice for me

[Papaj]

Hmm before i vote i need more info on abscond. Does this get me away from angry wife? And to a safe location? Or move me into filbuses basement?

[karanastorm]

It's not listed here but cure disease because so many people and children die every year of diseases. So my only other option is complete heal to heal those who are hurt or almost dying. :D

[iruinedyourday]

gate by far most wished for. theres been many times i wished i could just gate home

to bad you find out you're bound inside your moms womb.. yikes!

[iruinedyourday]

man tough list, I'm going to say resurrection would be the obvious choice from this list because well, you have to pick that one or you're a dick.

if that wasnt on the list i would easily go with DMF.. float.. water breathe..

what more could you ask for in life than those two abilities wrapped into one.

[Borak]

Silly people. The best spell would be Cinda's Charismatic Carillon or, in other words, bard faction song.

This song takes you from glowering to amiable, it's seriously OP. Assuming there are no Glaring people in your life willing to kick your ass, imagine that guy at work you don't like, and who doesn't like you, suddenly liking you and recommending that you get a promotion. On the other hand, making a member of the opposite sex go from amiable to warmly might be an abuse of power. It's up to you. The opportunities are endless - do not abuse the power of the Carillon.

Speaking of which, most depictions of Succubuses (Succubi) as being very attractive sort of defeats the point. If you're attractive, you shouldn't need much 'devil magic' to seduce others. Succubi should be ugly as hell but seductive nonetheless. This song, will make a succubus out of anyone =D

[Lisset]

to bad you find out you're bound inside your moms womb.. yikes!

I hear a lot of people are bound in his moms womb.

Divine Aura

[Secrets]

Can't cast rez while dead, DA is 18 seconds, complete heal is immortality forever

[Lojik]

Are the durations adjusted based on the fact that a norrath day is 1/16th of an earth day, thus would divine aura last 5+ minutes? That would be awesome, just go skydiving without a chute!

Although I think I'd go with Fay Portal. That way when Kimm posts those "My Saturday Night v. Your Saturday Night" threads I can post some better pics of woodelves

[applesauce25r624]

Illusion: Erudite from the waist down

[Whoop]

You can't run around rezing dead people wtf?! One would never be left alone once the world would find out about it. Same with CH or cure disease. We live and we die end of story.

DMF would be cool but only if GINA is allowed, lev dropping mid-air would suck since, yea you know - can't rez dead people :)

[mropey]

You people are crazy..

Dead Man Floating. Levitate? Breathe under water?

[Shjade]

Abundant Food.

[azeth]

Abundant Food.

theyd lock you up and force your hand for the rest of your life.

[Nuffwin]

Would Cadeau of flame enable you to flip burgers with bare hands without harm ?

Would be handy for most neckbeards in here.

[Yasi]

I'd go with Ring of Karana to farm my Quillmane cloak.

[maskedmelon]

Winds of Gelid


Or



Complete Heal


I am torn between righting humanity and immortality >.<

[Expediency]

Resurrection and it aint close. Besides saving peoples lives, you would also be instantly rich

[Jfertal]

Not sure how dmf is losing in this poll...you can lev, breathe under water, you get an increase in poison, i assume you can drink more to avoid alchohol poisoning? See invis, so all those ghastly creature sneaking around are now visable.

Like come on, complete heal? We have modern medicine in which overtime cure most injuries.

Resurrection? You cant cast it onyourself, no one here has a gilfriend, so you won't use it on any loved one, aside from like what your animal??

Gate? Why the gate? I hope its unstable and crashed on you, what happens when your super dehydrated, cant regen your mana, and now you cant gate

[Expediency]

What good is DMF? You dont get a speed bonus, see invis is useless IRL, lev would be mildly entertaining but you could get that with other spells or illusions.

Complete heal and resurrection would result in the caster being able to earn $texas by casting them on a rich people, plus the ability to help the poor or whatever by casting it for free on them as mana allows.

Also you can totally cast complete heal on yourself.

I would prefer the best wolf form over DMF. You move quicker, see better, attack harder, and are not recognizable as human.

Gate is pretty sweet but if you dont also get bind with it, loses its effectiveness pretty quickly. If nobody changes your bind location you can pretty much only gate back to the town you were born in.

[Yasi]

Wolf Form? Where I live, wolfs will be insta shot to protect People and cattle.

[Vilkata]

no love for Splurt?

[Expediency]

Wolf Form? Where I live, wolfs will be insta shot to protect People and cattle.

Zombies are usually KOS also. Casting dmf causes you to "looks dead"

[pharmakos]

Share Wolf Form so i could make a fortune off of furries.

[maskedmelon]

Complete healing would essentially serve as a fountain of youth. Age related degeneration unlike sexual maturation is the result of cumulative error and damage from the environment so a complete healing would restore youthfulness. You might just need rhinoplasty every 80 or so years....

As for gate, don't forget the message you receive when the bind affinity spell is cast on you. It says you develop an affinity for this place. With that in mind I think it is very likely gate would take most people to their homes, work place, favorite shopping/eating establishment, etc.: the place that means the most to you. Consider where your ghost would be most likely to haunt and that is where the gate spell would take you.

[brecon]

The answer is obviously charm

[Jimjam]

It's a hard call between Summon Ale(^ (http://wiki.project1999.com/Summon_Holy_Ale_of_Brell)) or Divine Intervention (save from death with complete heal).

[QFuzzle]

Gate -- The time-save! Only having to travel one way, then gate right back! I better be able to gate with my car....

[Whirled]

What? No True North? j-k
Spirit of the Howler, cuz having a spirit wolf would own in RL

[astronaut]

I wouldn't mind gating into Holana Oleary's womb.

[Issar]

I know it's not classic, but Grow (Increase Player Size by 33%)... for reasons @.@

[kaev]

Fail poll, True North is not listed, abstaining

[Voland]

Alliance/Benevolence spell would be useful when my boss cons dubious :)

But yeah, Gate (with Bind) is the best. I feel like a melee char in RL... even if it's fun to travel to a new place, coming back is kind of tedious.

[Victorio]

WTS Rezzes

[Blux]

This was a good thread. I would like the spell rabies or true north

[Lisset]

WTS Rezzes

Yeah, you could make a mint hanging out at hospitals and cemeteries.

[Politiko]

Are we counting songs? Selo's song of travel would be my first choice. Speed/Invis/Levitate. So many possibilities.

[Expediency]

With that in mind I think it is very likely gate would take most people to their homes, work place, favorite shopping/eating establishment, etc.: the place that means the most to you. Consider where your ghost would be most likely to haunt and that is where the gate spell would take you.

You develop an affinity because a spell was cast on you to make that happen. You cant change your affinity by just preferring a place, or staying there often. Without a way to change bind, gate has limited options. If you get them both as a package, they are very strong. I'd rather have egress or succor than just a straight up gate. Would take me or my group of five friends to a set, predictable place in any "zone" that I'm in.

Many of you are very nice people, considering the potential good things you could do, or at least just the money you could make. You ought to think more deviously about this question. You could be a crime boss or even a warlord with some of these spells.

[gildor]

Illusion: Erudite

Dat ass tho

[Teeroyoyort]

Dragon roar/fear

[Mojo24]

Ice Comet. No human could survive that.

[azeth]

sorry, you guys all fell for this. it's a trick question... humans dont have mana pools IRL.

[Huggz]

I do.

You gotta have points in INT, bro.

[Ivory]

Complete heal wouldn't make you immortal. It just lets you heal off damage you suffer (not de-age you).

I would go for collaboration. It increases all the creatures of the targets faction!

Thing is...factions go rather wide. All americans? All men? All humans?!

Boom, you are loved by everyone and can have anything you want!

[Ella`Ella]

How did Rapture and Divine Aura not make the list?
