The two I use most often are the Big Splat Cast and the Tangled Mess Cast



The real question is, are you skillful enough to combine them?

I'm so good I can make a wind knot without any wind...


The Big Splat Cast can be very effective with terrestrials. The Tangled
Mess Cast has no good use that occurs to me at the moment.

How often have I executed a Tangled Mess Cast and then spent minutes
trying to unsnarl the cluster ****, only to realize that it would have
more efficient to cut it apart and re-rig, and I don't know whether I'll
ever get it undone anyway, but I've invested so much time in it that I
can't quit?
