And with double int, his spells may not be as powerful as other types but he should have a versatile list to draw from. Don't forget to use spirit site to pick your targets, and release a few spirits to raise havoc( a wirlvish in a bag a great way to start a fight) and I will do ok. And since my shaman worship Oakfed I had access to fire elementals which always made the bad guys happy.

I'm not badmouthing shaman; I'm just noting that in the particular problem sorcerers created (buffing up the party) they simply weren't in the same running, because spirit magic is not of long enough duration for it to be an issue. And frankly, a shaman isn't able to put up a better countermagic than anyone else, as that's an issue more of what spell's available than how many magic points were; experienced characters of any magical pursuasion willing to pursue Power spirits could have magic points to burn. If anyone was going to win on the countermagic tango, it wasn't likely to be a spirit magician, since both divine and sorcerous characters did not need a specific, high rank spell to do it; sorcerers could do it with manipulation, divine mages by simple stacking (though the former had to have enough skill and the latter enough points, of course).
