 Olgreb's Toxic Radiance is a great spell for crowd-control. It isn't fast, but it ''is'' good at thinning out a crowd; weakening the strong monsters and killing the chaff. Very effective in the [[Spider's Nest]], as most [[list of insects|insects]] and [[list of arachnids|spiders]] are vulnerable to poison. Also great against evasive enemies in general, such as [[killer bee]]s and [[boggart]]s.
-Works very well with [[Ignite Poison]]. Ignite Poison deals 200% - 300% of expected poison damage, immediately. This makes OTR becomes even better at dealing with crowds, able to wipe entire screens of monsters in just a few turns.

 This spell, when combined with [[Ignite Poison]], can be useful up to [[Vaults]] and [[Depths]], as the combo is decent against monsters like [[vault guard]]s and [[deep troll]]s. Even in [[Zot]], it can be used to clear out [[list of draconians|draconian]]s and [[orb guardian]]s. While it's much less powerful in the lategame, since more and more monsters resist poison, that's to be expected of a level 4 spell.
