    11) Watch your fire. When you spray your flame spell all over a room trying to hit your target your allies don't appreciate being set on fire. They will return the favor.

    25. Shouting Fus Ro Dah at a bandit at the top of a mountain is fun. See how far one of them flies to their doom. It's also a great way to quickly dispose of Frost Trolls.

    35. When faced with a difficult opponent out in the world, take it back to the nearest encampment you can. Not only do you get help in beating a powerful foe, but more bodies to loot with no (major) drawbacks!
