So far, without the Forges, the opening I like the most is
R1 Cloak - Crystal
R2 Ghoul Rot - Magebane FD on yourself
R3 Enchantment Transfusion both Curses to enemy mage


What's the benefit of casting the curses FD on yourself and using ET to move both curses to enemy mage? Hoping to learn something new here. Thanks!

Gets around Nullify. Also not as convenient to Dispel. For example, consider having Mage Bane AND Ghoul Rot AND Plagued transmuted onto you, and you only hold 1 Dispel in hand for "in case" a curse was cast on you.

Ah, great point- didn't think about ET as a way to get around Nullify. Thanks!

A couple more reasons :
- R2, the enemy mage may not be in range to cast them directly onto him.
- you may not be willing to step into range 2 that soon, especially not when you have initiative that round. Better to transfer them when you can activate last, then (possibly) pull back with initiative the next round.
