These are awesome spells.

  I must really disagree here.  Lightning is a VERY USEFUL spell.
It actually causes more damage to a map than small fireball,
but it's QUITE concentrated and controllable.  Someone else pointed
out the corridor-use of these.  Also, I feel terror when I see a 
lightning bolt coming.  It sucks hp MUCH quicker than fireballs do...
