Over the last couple of decades I've used the expanded random demon table, a maybe a couple of spells, otherwise not so much.

Nowadays I'm unlikely to use that system at all, honestly (unless I'm running DF or similar) I'm even regretting having used the Alchemy rules in Desolation Road. I'd have been better off using the alchemy as technology approach in Fantasy Tech 1 combined some of the Material Magic rules in Thaumatology.
