Bring Back Haste (Spell) as Haste Other

Ability to Haste yourself on tap was indeed too powerful; but the beam-targeted version of haste was unique as the only charms spell that can be used to buff Summons and permanent allies and that niche is worth keeping filled.

I believe there is a Charms spellbook in the works that includes it and several other newly brainstormed spells.

I agree. It was very tedious especially when trying to target specific monster.
Maybe make it level 9 spell and let it work like Aura of Hasting, hasting one allied monster every N auts. Though it would be weird to have level 9 spell as aux spell which requires level 4-9 spells of other schools or specific gods.
Underestimated: cleaving, Deep Elf, Formicid, Vehumet, EV
Overestimated: AC, GDS

Grief, I hope so. Having a high level charms skill is nigh-on pointless at the moment. Every high level spell has a different school with no synergies.
