Not true.. they dont suck. you just need to use your head and plan things out. Now mend bones in my book is not the best spell. I use dark empethy on my pet then cast my drain life a few times then drak empethy agian. This worked for me well.. right up to level 12. Good luck!!

yup sucks most of the 8th level spells do

Does anyone else find this spell pretty useless? I feel so cheated I paid 4 PP + for it and it hardly heals my skel at all takes a long time to cast and takes a decent amt of mana, what gives . . .
