Sure, use spellcasting in a world where even knowing about anything eldritch makes you insane. Low intelligence builds live longer.

See, that's the secret. It isn't if you go insane and get devoured by a deep one, it's when.

There is no winning Call of Cthulhu. You usually go insane. Dying is actually the best move.
I thought I'd make it to round 3 maybe before it happens.
CoC players should remember combat and spellcasting should be avoided at all costs. Your characters don't know what these spells really do and are too fragile, just like we are, for any heroic D&D action.
To be fair, dying is probably one of the best ways to resolve a character in CoC.
I wonder if this meme man is still alive

Don't worry, we'll know when he dies.
