Tips and tactics

 * Sometimes a buff appears to have no practical use and is not worth stealing. However, if your party has no Priest or Shaman to dispel the buff, spellsteal accomplishes the same thing.


 * Often overlooked, this spell can be extremely good. For example, Valkyrion Aspirants in Valkyrion have a buff called Metanoia, wich increases your damage output a lot, especially if you are Fire mage.
