Talk:Forbidden Word

Why the bad rap? Forbidden Word is comparable to Ghostly Claw and Natural Attack...
I'm not sure why Forbidden Word gets such terrible reviews, when its damage is equal to Ghostly Claw at level 5 (8 to 13 compared to Ghostly Claw's 9 to 12; slightly more dicey, but the same average), and greater than Natural Attack's, while these two are both respected and recommended spells (though I understand the Natural Attack/Cloudy Attack controversy). To be fair, Forbidden Word has less range than both, but to recommend Lightning Strike and/or Leek Pie as being better options (especially if range were the source of the complaint) seems a bit much!
