Has anybody tried casting reversal spell before fighting ghouls ? If so will it help against ghouls ?

It doesn't help. Reversal doesn't work in combat.

Actually, none of the ghoul's spells are direct spells that could be reflected. Both Boom and his Hellfire attack are area effect and his loogie isn't a spell.

There's another hommage spell to QFG5 in there, but it's not the ghoul who uses it.

Are you absolutely certain? The diary lists "First Aid" as one of the ghoul's abilities.

In addition to being a QFG5 homage, this spell is also arguably a QFG4 homage (referencing a specific death scene in that game.) It substitutes for another, less dramatic, spell in the magic user endgame.
