Also, I wish area of effect spells would break barrels and chests. There are few mobs that are completely immune to magic and will slow you down for the time it takes you to whack them dead with your slow attack speed staff and the aid of your pet. Otherwise it's pretty straightforward and at least on Adventurer difficulty my character became pretty much a walking tactical nuke, bombarding the screen with meteor strikes. Staves have strength as a secondary stat requirement and you probably want to throw a handful of points into vitality as well to avoid random enemy projectiles one-shotting you. Offensive spells scale pretty well with the skill and your magic score.
The attack magic is probably the most important, unless you want to really improve the strength of your summons with the charm magic skill. Instead, you're better off just increasing the attack, charm, and defense magic skills.
The spellcasting skill that increases your cast speed becomes obsolete once you start socketing your gear with +x% cast speed gems. Needless to say, switching spells became much smoother after setting hotkeys for them. Previously I had been changing the active spell via the spellbook. I thought the active spell icon was only for show before I accidentally took the cursor over it and found that right clicking it pops up your known spells. Too bad I discovered it only when I had played about third of the game. Fate has a similar system to Diablo II in setting hotkeys for spells. Only thrice in fact and those three deaths happened only because I was trying to cast identify instead of heal.
I don't know if it was because of the new dungeon or because I played a caster this time but it took me about five hours longer to beat FTS than Fate: Undiscovered Realms. Later on the bonuses to skills cease to mean much, alike to Dungeon Siege II. The race choice mostly means that the start of the game will be easier if you choose to play with the style you've gained bonuses for. There are also new music tracks, pets, items, and you can choose a race of your character. Yet again there's a new dungeon, the Chamber of Trials, placed in the Temple of Fate, and every ten levels or so you get a quest to kill a mob in there.
