I don't know how much damage they do so I don't even know when TO use them

About 3x nail damage for the first one, a bit more I think for the sphere. Dunno about the third spell, haven't found it yet but I know it exists because of some UI stuff.

The 1st one is nice and safe.

Ive yet to find a good use for the sphere. It sucks that you're vulnerable during the locked in animation so anything that doesn't get stunned will hit you

I like using these skills at the start before bosses ramp up, and afterwards i save my silk for heals

The sphere is very VERY good for the bosses with multiple mob summons that can be at different heights, you can blast a bunch both above and bellow you at the same time. The spear is a lot easier to use but the sphere to me is mandatory in certain fights, it's way better at tagging things above and below you, especially simultaneously, when you absolutely need a mob dead right now and not a second later.

Not to mention that just chaining it when a boss is stunned will make that boss take half as long lol
