RE: KILLING THE 'SPELL VINES'....I posted a reply to your letter, 
a day or so ago, Rick. In case you did not receive it, I'll repeat. 
These are actually AIR ELEMENTALS, and are of the elemental class 
of monsters. All of the Elemental Class monsters can be dealt with 
using any one, or a combination of, the following:
 
1. Use VORPAL BLADES. You should have 2 of these by now. DISRUPT is 
the most effective.
 
2. Use a magic item that has a DISPELL option. This will cast a WEAKEN 
NON-MATERIAL BEINGS spell.
 
3. Use a WEAKEN NON-MATERIAL BEINGS spell, that you cast from your 
own MANA.
 
Yes, fireballs can be effective, but if the AIR ELEMENTALS become 
transparent, there is no effect. However, the above methods will deliver 
some damage regardless. One warning: keep your weaker characters to 
the back, and try not to get hit more than once from these suckers! 
They can take out a couple of the weaker characters without any problem. 
If your strength is down, then fall back on the old standby: RUN AWAY! 
RUN AWAY! Good luck.
