Illusion spells work better when the caster has Artist (Illusion), Blink requires a Body Sense roll in order to be most useful, Slide requires the Skiing skill, Cloud-Vaulting requires the Acrobatics skill...the list goes on. Each of these spells are included on the lists of Priest spells in Dungeon Fantasy 7: Clerics, yet none of the skills are on the templates for the associated priest, nor that of the wizard. So how is a starting DF character to use any of these spells?

The DF books generally do too little, in my opinion, to explain how the magic system is best used in DF games. This is one of many examples of this...
