I like to keep a Protection from evil in a contigency set to enemy sighted. Not for any practical reason, it's so I get a cool, Irenicus like, nimbus of electricity around my primary spellcaster, when he enters combat.

Minor Spell Sequencer
---------------------
</font>

• Mirror Image and Blur.</font>
• Two Magic Missiles.</font>
• Two Melf's Acid Arrows (less punch than the Missiles, but more damage over time).</font>
• Melf's Acid Arrow and a Glitterdust.</font>
• Glitterdust and Horror (someone should fail a save here).</font>
• ToB only - Two Chaos Shields. They'll stack!</font>

Contingency
-------------</font>

• Stoneskin at 50% hit points. Just think of how annoying it is when your enemies do that. ;)</font>
• Invisibility (Mislead if your level is high enough) when Helpless. Especially if you're solo.</font>
• Tenser's Transformation at 50% hit points (Bards or high level Fighter/Mages).</font>

Spell Sequencer
---------------</font>

• Three Skull Traps. Be sure to aim correctly, though.</font>
• Mirror Image, Stoneskin and Improved Invisibility.</font>
• Greater Malison, Slow and Teleport Field - for disabling purposes.</font>
• ToB only - Three Chaos Shields. Yep - these will stack, too.</font>

Spell Trigger
--------------</font>

• Three Lower Resistances.</font>
• Three Chain Lightnings.</font>
• Three Sunfires. Sunfire makes you temporarily immune to fire - have multiple mages use this simultaneously for even more fun. [img]smile.gif[/img]</font>
• Stoneskin, Protection from Magical Weapons and Improved Invisibility.</font>
• Improved Haste, Tenser's Transformation and Mislead.</font>

Chain Contingency
-----------------</font>

• Three Abi-Dalzim's Horrid Wiltings at See Enemy. Also known as "The CC Bomb".</font>
• Three Project Images (ultimate firepower, all three will be spawned) on any trigger that tickles your fancy.</font>
• Mass Invisibility and two Project Images (good firepower, plus you and your clones start out Improved Invisible) on any trigger that tickles your fancy.</font>
• Tenser's Transformation, Simulacrum and Improved Haste for Fighter/Mages at 50% hit points (25% if you're feeling lucky; Tenser's Transformation will heal you).</font>
• ToB only - Three Improved Chaos Shields. Have i mentioned they'll stack? :D</font>
