Useful Info
Iskenderun's Battlesphere is a level 5 Conjurations spell which conjures a friendly battlesphere to support your magical attacks.
Each time you cast a destructive spell, the battlesphere will shoot a pefectly accurate, irresistible beam (assuming it has clear line of fire). This is aimed at the same target you attacked. For unaimed spells, like Frozen Ramparts, the battlesphere will fire at a random target.
Damage formula: 2d(6 + Power/11)
Number of charges: 4 + (1d(Power + 10)-1)/10
Max. spellpower: 100
Battlespheres have a limited amount of charges. It will dissipate if: it runs out of charges, if you enter a different floor, or if you enter a different floor. In addition, battlespheres can be targeted and destroyed by enemy attacks. While the battlesphere can't fire through you, you can fire through the battlesphere (without harming it).
You may only summon one battlesphere at a time. Casting it while one already exists will recall it to your location and increase both its duration and number of charges (max 20).
Destructive spells are spells that Vehumet supports. For a full list of eligible spells, see Destructive Spell. The only destructive spells that battlespheres won't support are Iskenderun's Battlesphere (obviously) and Spellforged Servitor.
Strategy
Iskenderun's Battlesphere works very well together with Magic Dart. The dart never misses, only costs 1 MP, has your entire line of sight as range - and if the Battlesphere has a free path to shoot at your enemy, it will do so, significantly boosting the damage output of Magic Dart. You do not block the sphere's firing path, neither does the sphere block yours.
It does block the line of sight for monsters, though! While not perfectly reliable, with good pathing and a bit of luck, you can keep your sphere between yourself and a nasty hexer / banisher / malmutator. While being able to blast them to your heart's content with the battlesphere supporting your damage output. Or while you run towards the stairs.
If your sphere does not fire, check for a clear firing path from its position. Your sphere is an ally, so the 't' menu can be used to order it around. tf (tell to follow) brings it back to you, should it have drifted into the wrong corner of the screen.
This combination is very stealthy because both the dart and the sphere are pretty silent in what they do. While it will still wake up sleeping enemies, it will draw far less attention than a Fireball or Lightning bolt does.
