So I decided to go with Web and charm person for some versatility worked pretty good against the drove of hobgoblins we faced in the cave with the portcullis at the entrance. Twas a hard fight and we had to use ever spell to survive, then got ambushed by 8 shadows on the was back to our campsite. Our magic user died and became a shadow :(, but I did manage to get a bit of him before he did.

So my next spell related question is does 1e have the resurrection spell where you only need a bit of the body to raise them?
