Here's hoping I didn't just duplicate a thread made long ago yet again...
Is one of these spells better than the other? They both function similarly as insta-kill spells that destroy loot and they both compete for slots of the same spell level. I am beginning to think that Disintegrate is much more useful because it seems to affect way more things than FtS (or even the more conventional death magics like Wail of the Banshee, Finger of Death, Death Spell, etc.) and the method with which it kills things seems to also bypass certain low health behaviors that StF triggers (troll falling prone, efreet turning to gas form etc.).
So, uh, having pretty much just asked a question and answered it myself, I now predict that I will get a few people to confirm my answer and this thread will die a quick death.
