 Once you have memorized Construct Spike Launcher, you can take on gnolls in D:1-2, at least if it's just 1v1. It can hit invisible enemies, so if you face one before you can get see invisible, it can give you a vital clue on where the invisible monster is hiding.
 Whether to aim for Blazeheart Golem or Lightning Spire first can depend on [[aptitude]]s and other Fire/Air spells you've found: species with a much stronger proficiency for one or the other should likely pick the corresponding spell first, and if you've found Fire/Air spells that you can get along the way, that too can influence the decision.
-Lightning Spire has the advantage of being ranged and is a much less risky spell (you can't blow yourself up if you get trapped in the wrong position). However, Blazeheart Golem is easier to use in corridors; if it is summoned behind you, you can swap places with it, which is impossible with the Lightning Spire
+Other than aptitudes: Lightning Spire has the advantage of being ranged and is a much less risky spell (you can't blow yourself up if you get trapped in the wrong position). However, Blazeheart Golem is easier to use in corridors; if it is summoned behind you, you can swap places with it, while Lightning Spire is unreliable in corridors.
 The explosions from Forge Blazeheart Golem will anger the [[good god]]s if another ally is hit, so beware of that.

 * [[Construct Spike Launcher]] has good damage and MP efficiency for its level. It creates a spike trap on an adjacent wall, which damages enemies, even [[invisible]] ones.
 * [[Launch Clockwork Bee]] requires a target to aim at and you to wait a few turns, then summons a strong and fast bee. The bee can only attack a few times, then requires you to "rewind" it by moving into its tile (at the cost of 1 MP). Often, you'll cast Clockwork Bee when an enemy is at max range, then let the enemy approach as you wind up.
-* [[Forge Blazeheart Golem]] creates a powerful golem that will damage itself when attacking, then explode a turn after it loses all its HP. The golem needs to be standing next to you in order for it to attack and to trigger the explosion. The explosion is very strong and cannot miss, making it great at taking out tough foes. But watch out for enemies with [[blink]] (who can blink behind you and block your retreat path) or movement-restricting effects (e.g., [[throwing net]]s, [[constrict]]).
