Essencesĭraining Blast: Surprisingly strong against the various undead you'll encounter at low levels in the OC, because it triggers a Will save, you can use this to kite nearly anything early on. However, if you're not interested in exploiting bugs, the utility here is limited, and you don't have enough slots at this tier to make it worthwhile, in my experience. At low levels, it can be handy for kiting in conjunction with hindering blast, and if you want, you can in fact stand at maximum range in some cases, and use this to attack mobs that will not react because you're too far away. Least Invocations Blast ShapesĮldritch Spear: The single longest range attack spell in the game.
I've listed a few notable traps at the end. Those invocations not listed are of limited to no use.
