Just wondering whether there are any spells that were in the earlier Wizardry series that you miss in the later games?
For me, the best examples are MALOR and MADI. Malor let to teleport to arbitrary locations and was incredibly convenient.
MADI is missing in Wizardry 6 and 7, and it shows when you get to high levels. At that point, you may have a lot of hit points, but there's no way to heal them. Heal wounds averages only 31.5 points at power level 7, which isn't much if you have over 300 hit points, making healing tedious. Healthfull averages even less. (Really, that spell feels rather pointless.) Restoration (Wizardry 8's MADI) doesn't exist, and neither does MAHAMAN (which would be another soultion, even with the level drain drawback).
Any other spells that you miss in the later wizardries?
