Teleport is really a cool spell in heroes4. Not only can you teleport your own troops but also the enemy’s troops! It's really fun to teleport the enemy around in siege combat.

I am tempted to say Martyr is the most useful spell for Life Magic.  It's even more powerful if you combine it with immortality potions, Heavenly Shield (adds hitpoints), and Regeneration spell.

I also like berserk. When you still don't have hipnotize it's a very nice spell to use.

I like Curse, Magic Arrow, Armaggedon and Summon Water Elemental spells... they seem to be useful... Also
the Regeneration spell is useful - once my friend fought he healed a Thief Female with a Priest Male using this and bringing back lots of HP.. heh so having a Priest and Regeneration on him will be helpful to our main hero (say, a Necromancer archer )

GUARDIAN ANGEL is good to be cast on angels and send them to the enemy side. enemy would be so occupied to kik your angels' butts so won't observe that monks and crossbowmen shoot at them too.
there are others, but i like this one most

I'm not a very big fan of life magic.
I think that chaos magic is the best. It has the most amazing damage attack spells. Take disintergrate for example.... A strong enough hero with this spell could take out nearly any creature on the battlefield.

"I am tempted to say Martyr is the most useful spell for Life Magic. It's even more powerful if you combine it with immortality potions, Heavenly Shield (adds hitpoints), and Regeneration spell. "
Exactly what I was going to say when I first saw this thread.
Especially early on, when your hero has many more HP than crossbowmen, pikes, or squires... just cast heavenly shield on your hero, then cast martyr on your hero and the pikes to protect the pikes and now send your invincible pikemen tanks onto the enemy and you wont have any early casualties . Your hero won't die due to the extra hp given by the shield and the fact that he already has 200+ hp
Actaully, you should cast martyr first, then heavenly shield, so you dont lose pikemen after the first round... but you get the idea.

Mass First Strike is useful. Especially against Black Dragons... because of the whole immune to magic thing. It can give you a slight advantage if your men manage to kill off one or two before they get to attack...

I say mass curse. It's great on creatures with a wide damage range.

spell point consideration
Quote:

I won't be so sure. Both Mass Sorrow and Mass Weakness use more spell points than Mass Curse. Isn't it reasonable to assume spells that require more spell points are more powerful than spells that use fewer spell pts?

Its reasonable to assume that, but let's look at summonings and Create illusion/Phantom Image.Summon Mantis is as effective as Phantom Image, yet PI requires less Spell Points, and it can be any creature on the battlefield.

I also like the LIFE spell martyr;
when you've got about 10 angels and about 300 squires redirect all damage done to the angels to the squires.
Advantages: The angels don't die from attacking/defending, and the squires get as much damage as the angels would have had. When the squires are almost dead, ressurect them with the angels, et voilá!
