Don Lang's Witch Doctor is a popular novelty song released in 1958. The song was performed by Don Lang and was his only hit single. It reached number three in the UK Singles Chart. The song is known for its catchy rhythm and humorous lyrics about a witch doctor named Ee-Oh-Oh-Ah-Ah, who has the ability to heal people through his magic powers. The lyrics describe how people from all over the world come to see the witch doctor and seek his help. The song's popularity can be attributed to its infectious melody and playful nature.
One of the rocks that form part of the basic terrain of adepti abodes. This one looks most steady indeed.
At the start of your hero phase, you can heal 1 wound allocated to each friendly SYLVANETH unit that is wholly within 9 of an overgrown terrain feature or friendly Awakened Wyldwood. If my players want to go for 7d6 elemental no save over -6con 50 chance not to act, lose 1d4 levels, or a maximized ray of enfeeblement, then I am perfectly fine with it.
The song's popularity can be attributed to its infectious melody and playful nature. The repetition of the phrase "Ee-Oh-Oh-Ah-Ah" throughout the song adds to its catchy appeal. The song also features energetic saxophone solos, which further enhance its lively mood.
Favorite Spells In Pathfinder
Boneshatter - PF Comp. Osirion. Good damage and not a ranged touch attack so you can hit those pesky rogues running around.
Scorching Ray - PF Core. One of my favorite if not the favorite spells period.
Burning Disarm - PF Comp. Cheliax. Take damage or drop you weapon (if you make the reflex save). Used this last night. Made the whole fight go completely different.
Emergency Force Sphere - PF Comp. Cheliax. Awesome spell for when someone is up on you. And right when you can get it, that sphere is still a b&%$# to get through.
heal, mass heal, wish, time stop, divine power, righteous might, haste, teleport, summon monster x, color spray, charm monster, dominate monster, mass suggestion, disintegrate, freedom of movement, resist energy, mind blank, moment of prescience, vision, greater scrying, fly, false life, feather falling, hero's feast, hmm.
off the top of my head those are my favourites I use a lot. I mostly use spells from the core rulebook.
Magic Missile, (and to a lesser extent, Missile Swarm) because nothing says I'm a mage more than classic, untyped, homing magical damage.
The Create Pit line of spells in the Advanced Player's Guide. They're great anti-golem spells but not deal-breakers like those aweful Orb spells from the 3.5 Spell Compendium.
Pathfinder Rulebook SubscriberSpark (0-level spell), Suffocation (and it's mass incarnation), Pox Pustules, and most of the Compulsion effects make me happy on the inside, and almost all of my casters have them (usually mutliples are prepared cause they make me happy).
I mean, stealing someone last breath, or thought, what's not to love?
and then Spark, cause setting tiny things on fire is fun.
Anti-Magic Field, Dispel Magic, Greater Dispel Magic, Mage's Disjunction, Silence.. what can I say.. casters suck

For classics I'm fond of bestow curse, hold person and sound burst.
For stuff from the APG, I'm liking ant haul (to get my Nodwick on) and ghostbane dirge to handle those pesky will-o'-wisps.
I've recently been fond of Gallant Inspiration from APG. What a GREAT immediate action spell!
Honestly, Prestidigitation, and ghost sound. I owned a few rp based games with just those 2 spells. And now at-will in PF. Hell yea!
Grease. Can grease the spot the opponent is standing on or about to charge through, or greasing his weapon (which worked pretty well against a BBEG in this one fight). The APG additions of adding an option such as a flask of acid makes it even more interesting.
Shield of Faith, Magic Vestments, Shield, Black Tentacles, Resiliant Sphere, etc. All good spells and so many more. All time favorite is invisibility. A caster can cast all his/her party buffs and non attack debuffs or summon monsters without risk of reprisal. well, mostly.
What is wrong with the orb spells? Yes I thought the secondary effect was a little dumb, but it is a fourth level spell that does 15d6 elemental damage. no save but still have to hit. No SR. I'd rather cast Crushing Despair, Black Tentacles, Bestow Curse, or Enervation. Personally, I allow orbs without any secondary effect. If my players want to go for 7d6 elemental no save over -6con/50% chance not to act, lose 1d4 levels, or a maximized ray of enfeeblement, then I am perfectly fine with it.
I pick mage hand, teleport and planar bindings.
Scorching Ray - PF Core. One of my favorite if not the favorite spells period.

1. Samantha - 1 star
I was really disappointed with "Don Lang's Witch Doctor". The plot was confusing and hard to follow, and the characters were one-dimensional. The dialogue felt forced and awkward, and the acting was mediocre at best. Overall, I found the movie to be a waste of time and money. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
2. Michael - 2 stars
I had high hopes for "Don Lang's Witch Doctor" after hearing good things about it, but I was ultimately let down. The story was predictable and lacked depth, and the pacing was incredibly slow. The special effects were also quite underwhelming, taking away from the overall viewing experience. It just didn't live up to the hype for me.
3. Lisa - 2 stars
I found "Don Lang's Witch Doctor" to be extremely cliché and uninspiring. The characters were stereotypical and lacked development, making it difficult to connect with any of them. The movie also relied heavily on jump scares, which got old fast. I was hoping for a unique and thought-provoking horror film, but sadly, this wasn't it. I wouldn't watch it again.
4. John - 1 star
"Don Lang's Witch Doctor" was a complete mess. The storyline was convoluted and made no sense, leaving me confused and frustrated throughout the entire film. The acting was subpar, with the actors delivering their lines without any conviction or emotion. The film also attempted to add unnecessary twists that only muddled the plot further. I regret wasting my time on this disappointing movie.
