This novel has one of the best setting based on the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy. One point I missed the most in overlord novel and most of its fanfiction is the lack of information on utility spells. We can't deny the fact that Kugane Maruyama(overlord's author) is a genius in devising plots unfortunately in the main story and mainly due to the Ainz Ooal Gown(the guild) settings, momon character is mostly focused on schemes (oh and hilarious moments) and occasionally battles (mostly offensive spells). On the contrary from what we've seen Zark is potentially a better "solo caster" (and of course a more versatile one) since he has access to more spells. Overall I look forward to see more of Zark and his companions and also his future magecraft (e.g. divination spells, transmutation, ...)
