Quick Answer

Gale is best used as a control and utility toolbox, not only a Fireball machine. Prepare reliable spells, terrain control, rituals, and defensive tools; feed items you are sure you will not use.

Key Checks

  • Gale gets stronger when you adjust prepared spells before zones.
  • The item request is a story need, not a reason to feed every magic item.
  • Wizard deaths are often positioning problems, not only armor problems.
