A friend recently asked me to pose a couple of questions to this newsgroup.

i)	What is the most memorable use of a "non-offensive spell" for
	offensive means? (Some spells, such as "magic arrow" and "conjure
	elemental", are inherently offensive in nature. Others, such as
	"flying" and "hold portal", are not.) (We'll ignore throwing an
	"antimagic shell" on an opponent magic-user.)

ii)	What is the most memorable use of a "non-offensive weapon" for
	offensive means?

For example, in the book "Hit or Myth", by Bob Aspirin, somebody uses a
"levitate" spell to bounce somebody off the wall several times, knocking
them unconscious. (Who would expect THIS from such a "harmless" spell?)

Send in the cards and letters. Respond to "ctvax!uokvax!jab" or
"...!nwuxd!jab" if you don't have something of "general interest".
