-IMB is an excellent utility spell, able to knock multiple enemies back at once. It can push enemies away from melee (staircase) range, or make it easier to reposition yourself. Because it is a Conjurations spell, blaster casters won't need much investment to cast this spell. Affordable MP cost, too.
+IMB is an excellent utility spell, able to knock multiple enemies back at once. It can push enemies away from melee (staircase) range, or make it easier to reposition yourself. Because it is a Conjurations spell, blaster casters won't need much investment to cast this spell. It also has an affordable MP cost.
 As a damage spell, IMB offers moderate, irresistible damage that never misses. However, if your goal is to kill things, then most Conjurations spells will kill quicker and with less MP. For example: at 50 or so power, [[Searing Ray]] is better for MP efficiency, unless you can hit many targets with IMB.
