Fly, of course. You can attack suddenly flying over garrisons and steal powerful artifacts!

Depends on the situation. If it's earlier in the game, I'd take Fly, as it's great for harrassing and just generally being a pain in the neck. For a later-game battle, though, I'd take resurrection/raise dead (depends on town.)

since i am always an expert in ALL magic schools I'd go with Town Portal as well... you fight, you reload, you fight again... what can be better? if you own a Dungeon this spell can be quite usefull... think if you own all town types... you portal yourself around pick up the creature of your choice and throw yourself back in the battle...
Wistful dreams... but interesting theory! You would have to deal with the massive morale penalties though (-7 morale, lol)
Anyway I wish to make a really big and quality post here so I'll start from the beginning.
Bless: What is the point of spells that slightly raise your attack level if you can just cast MASS BLESS? Think about it - you can easily double, triple or sometimes even quadruple the damage of all your creatures!! If you have a good Spellpower rating you can make it last for quite a while too, enabling you to cast something else while your creatures do all the work. Bless is personally one of my favorites and if you couple it with something like Mass Haste or something your units will simply flow across the battlefield and strike maximum damage. Sounds like a dream? Well it can come true!
Town Portal The obvious favorite around here, Town Portal allows you to retreat all the way home to all your castles and pick up a massive army that's ben waiting for you since you dissapeared off to the enemy's lands. If you have Expert Town Portal little can stop you from winning the game, for this reason:
D MSDAY SCENARIO:
Your enemy has a massive army and is going to appear at your last castle next turn. It's day 4 and you've just sent a hero with your whole reinforcement army somewhere, at least 3 turns away. Your main hero with his huge army is god knows where. DOOM!
Solution: Town Portal your main hero to your castle, ride out and smash the enemy to bits.
Do you see what I'm talking about? This is why Town Portal definitely qualifies for the best spell in the game.
Implosion:With Great Power comes Great Responsibility. With Implosion, though, you don't need to worry about responsibility because whatever you do your enemy will die. Say you have Orb of Earth (+50% for Earth spells) and 15 Spellpower. The result is a 1000-1500 dam. attack which needless to say is quite devastating, nailing down 5 titans in just one turn.
Meteor Shower: Meteor shower is a mass damage spell which can be very effective at high magic level and spellpower. This can do almost as much damage as Implosion, but damaging far more enemies. As a result this is a favorite among players.
Chain Lightning: Ahhh. This is why many people's favorite hero is Solmyr. Chain Lightning's advantage is that it hits targets now matter far apart they are. One disadvantage is that it could disastrously rebound on your own units. However, if you take care this will never happen to you. All in all this spell is about as good as Meteor Shower.
Okay guys this may not get a QP but these are the main spells which are in my opinion any good. Many will probably disagree, but... choose yourselves.

Hmm, slow is one of the very few spells you will ALWAYS find useful.
Town portal is nothing compared to slow. After all i can use "poor man's town portal" if i really need to. Fly/DD are banned. Ressurect is no match for slow in most cases. Only haste could be better in some cases, eventually prayer.

There is no correct answer for this question because it depends totally on the situation.
But town portal is good. So good that I could call it a cheat. In my opinion it also ruins some of the gameplay. If you have town portal on big maps with alot of towns you don't need to plan your movements or strategies on the map. You just go where is an enemy or treasures. If you see someone coming close to your town *blink* you're back there ready to kick its butt. It's like loss of thrill.
But that's just my opininon. Some players like to do it easy without any stress.

id say the best spell depends on what you have. if you have a stronghold hero with next to no spell power then titans thunder as it does a steady 600 dmg each time u use it for 0 mana... otherwise i would have to say either blind or dest.undead for obvious reasons.

One Spell...
That one spell depends on the situation really. When you're out and far away from your town and needs at least 20 turns to come back, then you're just a Town Portal away from wasting all those turns. But my favorite Adventure spell would have to be the Visions, very useful especially when finding out whether wandering monsters would attack, join your army or flee.
One of the spells I really find useful in any given combat situation is Blind. Instead of taking a massive damage from around 5,090 Archers (who attack twice) or Lizardmen, blinding them would always do the trick. Since the AI-controlled hero is too dumb to dispel or cure that stack, the said spell would persist until atacked. Used at expert level and you won't get retaliated!

And this is ruining the gameplay alot. Town Portal and DD door along with Fly is 10x superior to the most spells.
DD = massive backstabbing, and great mobility.
Town Portal = Allmost no limit on moving(comeon, you can TP to any point with a town. It beats crawling the entire map at times)
Fly = Ignore everything along with a buildt in Waterwalk. a nice thing to have.
Sure the combat spells is great, but mobility on the adventuremap can beat it alot of times(faster suply, backstabbig, endless mobility, etc).
I don't underestimate the great spells, but if the numbers are too uneven in the final battle it will not even help.

Best 1-spell
Actually for adventure spells, other than the real deals like town portal and dimension door, I prefer view air at expert level. Reveals effectively the location of everything -- heroes, towns, ectera...
I don't know why nobody mentioned summon boat at expert level. Isn't it cool that you're paying nothing 2 get a free ride across the water bodies? If anything, summon boat must be closest to "summon money" ^Ô^
