Summary0004371: Very hard to kill crate between chunks of wall.
DescriptionI generally use Ice Cross as my area effect and relandscaping spell. Since the change that stops area effect spells from penetrating walls, it's impossible to use this to destroy the crates in the boss levels where a single crate is between two pieces of wall. I can kill the crate by careful jumping and use of Death Touch, but this is suboptimal.

Correct, ice cross and circle of fire are not good at all at hitting solid objects that block them. Use fireball or fire touch or energy pulse or things of that nature. Ice cross and so on are not allowed to spawn on top of solid objects that block your movement, versus some of those other spells spawn on you and then move, crashing into those obstacles.

Ice cross and such don't move, and so don't crash into them. Occasionally they will be placed just right so that they'll slightly damage the crate by being right next to it, but that's just luck of the draw and not something I'd rely on.

There's not a way to make ice cross or similar able to strike crates without also making them able to strike through walls, given that crates are essentially destructible walls. They just aren't the right tool for this job anymore.

Ah, right. I may need to get a mouse with more buttons on it, then. :-)

If it's landscaping-related, you can always just hit the keyboard key, too. Aim the mouse cursor at the thing, hit 7 (or whatever) to fire the fireball, and poof. Then resume actually fighting and moving with just the mouse buttons.
