We just got ambushed in a courtyard by about 15 enemies standing on a walkway above us, with no immediately obvious way for us to get up there. We were sitting ducks. So Shadowheart cast blade barrier across the entire walkway. In addition to doing a lot of damage every turn, it imposes difficult terrain. All of the enemies stopped firing on us and tried to run to the end of the walkway. Most of them died on the way, but a few seemed to realize it was futile and turned around to run back and attack us, they died on the way back. A single concentration spell turned a dire situation into a complete bloodbath for our enemies. Shadowheart doesn't shine very often, but when she does, she shines like a diamond.

She was so slow for most of the game that I couldn't make much use of those. Near the end she got some boots that gave her freedom of movement, and longstrider, and then I started doing the same thing with her. Just using dash and running over next to everyone. LOL

Edit: it was the courtyard right before you start climbing to get to the brain. I dropped an ice storm on top of the group with the spectator, and that was pretty satisfying. It killed everything except for the spectator. Is that the courtyard you're talking about? My favorite playing with fire moment was a fire bolt in the sewers on all of those grease monsters. Half the sewer went up in flames!
