I've got a regular character that's a follower of Valkyrie.

After several years of playing the character I ended up modifying Valkyrie 
to allow her followers to use Turning spells only.

I also wanted to block her followers from using wands/rods but it 
turns out the server doesn't currently support that.  There may have been 
a plan to re-enable it.

Valkyrie's enemy list is so long that Turning spells should be a good 
source of experience to offset the loss of wands/rods.

There was a thread in May.
