well... May I ask some almost-newbie questions? N1 Why does not Magic Mirror reflects monsters, when it is thrown at a Warlock who is summoning a monster at the same turn? Summoning is an enchantment? N2 If it is possible to stab yourself, can I charm someone to stab himself?
N3 Two Fire/Ice storms cast at the same turn by the same warlock acts as one?

N2: Yes N3: It is a really big storm. Covers horizon to horizon. Which is why it affects everyone (or that's how I look at it.)

N1 - Techincally, you are reflecting the spell back at the Caster. Not the "Caster of the Mirror". N2 - Yes, you can charm a person into stabbing, however, he still controls the target. (Though you can trick him into stabbing himself, or his goblin, if you time it right) N3 - yes - any amount of ice storms cast will act as one.

N1:Magic Mirror will reflect the spell back to the caster. So if someone summons a monster to themselves, Magic Mirror will reflect it to the same person, so it doesn't do anything.
If the warlock was casting summon monster at another warlock or a monster, then a magic mirror on the target would mean that the monster was summoned to the original caster.
N2: You can make the charmed person make the > gesture, but they get to choose the target. If they were planning to do RH: P to shield their Goblin, then if you chose > for their right hand they would stab their Goblin.
N3: The storms finish with c which means that you can never cast more than one at a time. Even if you did this: WSSc WSSc You would still only get one storm. I guess you could Delay a storm, then cast another and fire your Delayed storm at the same time, but in this case it would still only be ONE.

almost. paraFDF. Paralysis - FFF(FFFFF) has been replaced as FDF(DFDFD). Naturally, Disease has been changed to DSFDFc. That is all. Paralysis must start with an F, but will then chain with FDFDFDFD

Just a minor note, since I am bored... when charmed, I almost never set the target for either hand, because the default target usually is what you want anyway.
If your opponent charms a P, the shield would be cast on yourself by default. If your opponent charms a >, you'll stab your opponent by default.
So, usually if you don't set target, the default does the work for you.. mostly..

PDWP is the only counter-intuitive (yet usually correct) default target setting. It always trips me up. Well, that and occasionally forgetting if you somehow cDPW and don't want the Dispel you will still get the Dispel.

well, another question:
SWWC WDDC
one or two spells?

just the one spell. It's the same as xxPSD DWFFD You don't throw the blindness and the magic missile as the "two handed gesture" funnels both gestures into one spell... I believe that the firestorm would be the default if you didn't set it though (feel free to prove me wrong though! )

well, another question: SWWC WDDC one or two spells? Interestingly, the spells are processed in sequence L-->R with the most recent spell being the spell recorded. So, in your example, a Clap of Lightning would occur not the Storm.

So, in your example, a Clap of Lightning would occur not the Storm. You've got the cast right, but for the wrong reasons. If you had the spellflow WDDC SWWC Clap of Lightning would still be cast first - provided you did not specify the spells manually. Rycchus and I went into this in detail a while back trying to find out what the algorithm was. It defaults to the longest of the two spells (same as SFW and PSFW), and tie-breaks on the alphabetical order of the spell name. Two-handed spells are cast over one-handed spells of greater length. If you specify a spell however, it goes with that one. If for some reason you have specified spells for both hands, it goes with the right-handed one.

In a malaFC battle:
you: FFF PPS
Opponent: FFF PPS
Both aren't paralized - so what will be best solution-
Variants are - FW/FF, DD/FF, DF/FF DF/FC FW/FC, FW/FC or even PP/FC and PP/FF

There can't be a 'best solution', unless it is valid for both you and your opponent at the same time.
