I've always liked Xan's personality and the look of his moonblade, but I typically don't keep him in a party for very long, mainly because I could never get over the fact that he misses out on so many great offensive spells (i.e: magic missile, fireball, cloudkill, etc.).
A short while back, I happened to mention in another thread that I considered Xan to be the worst mage in BG1. However, several posters responded by urging me to give him an earnest try, suggesting that, although he may require a bit more strategy or investment than other mages, the payoff would be worth it in the end.
In my current playthrough, I've just picked up Xan, and I've decided to give him the earnest try that others have been urging. So I'm looking for tips on how to use him, what spells to make the most of, when and how to use them, etc.
Thanks in advance.
